If the weather was good enough to do a circling approach from 04L onto 22L /R then you could do a side step onto 04R if necessary. I still can't see any advantage if there was a circling App from 04R.
I can only speak to U.S. rules, which would apply to a U.S. air carrier operating at this airport.

First, because there are no side-step minimums charted, you can use only circling minimums. Second, because there are no circling minimums you either land straight-in or miss the approach. Third, if Egypt allows visual approaches above certain minimums, then go for it.
