Egypt's electrical wiring regulations conform with IEC standards.
It is likely that what you are describing is what is typically done and not what is required to be done. ie it is likely that the installation is technically illegal. This does not mean that anyone in authority cares enough to do anything about it.
This document International electrical standards & regulations shows wiring standards applicable worldwide. On page 2 it shows Egypt as using IEC standards. Sockets are meant to be to the IEC German standard - page 16 - two pin no polarised with side wiping earth contact.

- GENERAL CIRCUITS These circuits supply both lighting points and socket outlets. The rating of the protective device is usually 16 A. There is no limitation of the number of outlets on a circuit. This limit is calculated according to expected/ probable use of the circuit. Socket outlets are generally of the 2P+E type “German". These plugs are non polarized. All German socket outlets are earthed. In general, the protective conductor is distributed throughout all circuits. For class II devices < 2.5 A, the Euro-plug is used. The wire cross-section of the fixed installed cables is normally 1.5mm² (protected by a 16 A Circuit Breaker).
&
- EARTHING Earthing is local, usually through a foundation earthing arrangement. All metallic services shall be bonded (gas and water pipe, heating, waste systems, etc.) with a 10 mm2. In bathrooms the local equipotential bonding could have a cross sectional area of 4 mm2. Neutral is re-earthed in the control panel. A protective conductor is distributed to all socket outlets.

As JohnD said - a GFI / ELCB (ground fault interupter / earth leak circuit breaker may disconnect the circuit when you feel shocks (depending on how much leakage is present, but with the system you describe this could be a major inconvenience.
