They certainly looked like F-16s and not being put to a very constructive use, but as Mubarack is, i believe, the ex-commander of the Egyptian Air Force, he was able to call in a few favours. No idea as to the purpose of the orange/hi viz markings on the wings. Perhaps to help the ground forces see the target in training and then in real situations they're painted out.
