Originally the Canaanites occupied all the coastal land of the Levant, from the Egyptian border north. With the arrival of the Philistines, somewhere around 1250 BCE, the Canaanites were pushed north to around the location of present-day Tel Aviv. At this point the distance from Egypt to the land of the Canaanites would have been a little over 100 kilometres. The mountainous hinterland that was later to become part of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel was largely uninhabited, at least from around 1550 to 1250 BCE, and the few rural inhabitants of the time, under Egyptian control, would not have owed allegiance to any Canaanite state.

The Egyptian border would have been ill-defined, partly because the Egyptians traditionally allowed the Semitic peoples, such as the Canaanites, to occupy land in the Egyptian delta region at times when their own lands were in drought, and also because the Levant was in any case part of the Egyptian Empire at this time.

Depends where in Egypt. From ancient Goshen it would be roughly 375 km. From the closest point in ancient Egypt, it would be about 100 km.
