Mansoura, the Queen of the Delta, Is a small town situated on the east bank of Demmitta branch of the Nile river.
Approximately 70 miles to the north of Cairo and 25 miles away from the Mediterranean sea.
"Island of Flowers" is its old name. The current name "Mansoura" is an Arabic word that means "The Victorious". This is because People in Mansoura were able to defend their land against the French Crusaders after they have passed Demmitta on their way to Cairo. They captured France's King, Lois IX in 1249 AD.
Mansoura is known for its beautiful people, but forgotten by many when seeking to visit Egypt. It is a small conservative town with clean air and good people. If you really want a taste of real Egyptians, I suggest to visit Mansoura.
Gammasa is one of the most beautiful beaches in Egypt. It is 20 miles away from Mansoura. It has a very special taste!!!
Mansoura University and The Medical Centers are the most famous regions.
