Morsi won office in a popular election, lasted barely two years, and then was couped and imprisoned.

I wouldn't call that interm period a dictatorship, if for no other reason than it stood in stark contrast to the periods immediately before and after. There was no well-defined national leader. Bureaucrats were still shuffling around and rebuilding a power base, before settling on el-Sisi.
