In the women's final, 16-year-old Hana Goda defeated Africa's top-ranked player, Dina Meshref, 4-2 to claim the top prize.
Mohamed Assar Omar beat competition from Nigeria's Quadri Aruna in the men's division to win gold after completing a comeback to win 4-3.
Success in the table tennis competition means Egypt lead the medal table with four, followed by Nigeria with two, while Algeria and Senegal each have one.
