Declaring yourself king and being king are two different things.
Back in the day when kings were over thrown by others, if you had a big enough army behind you and some political support that worked. In modern times you may be able to seize control but you'd be called a dictator, not king. No matter what title you decided to give yourself personally.
If any monarchy would be restored in modern times, there would have to be some cultural/historical link to the past. That's the point of restoring that system. Picking some random person and calling them king does little.
In an Arab country, trying to install a Pharaoh in modern times? Not going to happen. Even if they could try and track some heir down.
Now restoring the Egyptian kings? Highly unlikely still (there is a very rare country where restoring a monarchy might be possible) but at least more plausible then a pharaoh.
Faud II still lives, the last Muslim King of Egypt. He and his line would be far more likely to be restored then some resurrected Pharaoh. But I don't see either happening.
