The Global Arab Network has posted a number of articles on discoveries in Egypt, as noted by Joe Lauer.
1. A new tomb was discovered by an SCA mission at Tell el-Maskhuta [biblical Succoth] in the Ismailia governate (Egypt). The tomb dates to the 19th Dynasty (1315-1201 BC), is constructed of mud brick and consists of a rectangular room with a domed ceiling made of stone, and a deep square-shaped shaft.
2. The Head of Antiquities of Lower Egypt Mohamed Abdel-Maqsoud said that archaeological missions working in North Sinai have unearthed Tharu, an ancient fortified city, a move which stressed the importance of this area as the eastern gate of Egypt.
3. A collection of 14 Graeco-Roman tombs dating to the third century BC have been found in a cemetery in the Ain El-Zawya area of the town of Bawiti, in Bahariya Oasis.
The first and third articles have photographs of the finds.

Eagerly awaiting a post on the new Noah's Ark find.
The discovery of Tharu (also spelled Tjaru) is not super recent. The site was excavated and identified in the 1980s. Hoffmeier includes some discussion of Tjaru and the Way of Horus in his book Ancient Israel in Sinai (2005).
