You don't need to be in America to 'make success'. There are many non US startups that did very well. Also, getting into the US to startup is nearly impossible, so you'll have to look for other options anyway.

1) You don't need an 'American friend' to pay for hosting, all you need is a creditcard.

2) You'll need to properly setup a company. Given your circumstances, I would look at the free zones in the UAE. There you'll find the most business friendly places of the whole (Arab) Middle East. No corruption and bureaucracy there. Second, given the focus you put on being a young Muslim Arab, I'm sure you'll find your way in the UAE, just a short flight from Egypt.

You can find more info on UAE free zones at
