Why wouldn't there be grounders in Egypt? People survived the original apocalypse in Northern America, so people could have survived in the middle east as well. They wouldn't have to have travelled that far if they were already there.

Sure, they would fall outside of the grounder world Jason has introduced thus far (the 12/13 clans) but considering the story that's been told, it only makes sense that we only know of the civilization on the American continent.

But I don't even think the final scene was meant to go that deep. I think they wanted to take a world map and start putting red x's and they did a big one on Egypt now, so there's that. I think it's mostly to indicate like "okay guys, this threat is real, we already have a casualty of the next apocalypse... let's get a move on."
