Copts are both Eastern Rite and Western Rite if I remember correctly.

Annalex is correct - the Copts are pre-chalcedonian Oriental Orthodox for the most part. The Coptic Catholic Church is an Alexandrian Rite particular Church in full communion with the Catholic Church. At the Council of Florence on February 4, 1442, a Coptic Orthodox delegation signed the Cantate Domino, a document for the formal union with the Catholic Church and the bishop of Rome. Ibrahim Isaac Sidrak (born 19 August 1955 in Beni-Chokeir, Egypt) is the current Coptic Catholic Patriarch of Alexandria.
