Monufia Governorate, Agricultural governorate in Nile Delta, Egypt.
The Monufia Governorate extends over 2,543 square kilometers between Cairo and Gharbia, intersected by branches of the Nile River.
The region changed its administrative capital from the ancient city of Menouf to Shibin El Kom in 1826, marking a shift in regional governance.
Four Egyptian presidents, including Anwar el-Sadat and Hosni Mubarak, were born in different cities within the Monufia Governorate.
The governorate maintains extensive irrigation networks from the Rosetta and Damietta branches of the Nile for cotton, wheat, and potato cultivation.
The name Monufia originates from the hieroglyphic word 'Nafr', translating to 'The Good Land' due to its agricultural fertility.
