Dakahlia Governorate, Administrative region in northern Egypt

Dakahlia is an administrative region in northern Egypt's Nile Delta with Mansoura as its capital. The area is connected by roads to other major cities and serves as a transportation hub in the northern part of the country.

The region gained importance in the 13th century due to a major military event that shaped Egyptian history. This event established Mansoura as a place of historical significance.

The region is known for its connection to military events and displays objects from different periods in its main museum. Local communities have developed strong connections to their land and its past over centuries.

The region is easy to reach by car and accessible from Cairo, Alexandria, and other northern cities. Visitors can explore the area conveniently since road connections are well established.
