Summary
Egyptians planned for another attack and because the Egyptians wanted it to be a surprise so it happens over the Yom Kippur holiday to have original gains over Israel. Then the US sends aid to Israel so the war ends with the borders returning to how they were after the 6 Days War and Egypt realized they couldn't beat them in battle. After this, the West made them suffer with OPEC which was a settlement due to the rise in oil prices of 70 % which put the world in financial crisis.
