Damietta Governorate, Administrative region in northeastern Egypt.

The Damietta Governorate extends across 1,029 square kilometers of land between the Mediterranean Sea and the Nile Delta, including agricultural fields and coastal areas.

The region gained strategic importance during the Crusades, with its capital city Damietta experiencing multiple sieges and reconstructions between 1169 and 1251.

The governorate maintains strong traditions in furniture crafting, with numerous workshops producing intricate wooden pieces that are exported worldwide.

The Damietta Port functions as a major maritime facility, accommodating large vessels and providing shelter during adverse Mediterranean weather conditions.

The area contains extensive palm tree plantations along its coastline from Ras El Bar to Gamasa, supplying millions of palms annually to Greece and China.
