Dakahlia Governorate, Administrative region in northern Egypt
Dakahlia Governorate stretches across 3,500 square kilometers of the Nile Delta region, with Mansoura serving as its capital city.
The region gained prominence in 1250 when Egyptian forces defeated Louis IX of France during the Seventh Crusade at the Battle of Mansoura.
The Mansoura National Museum exhibits military artifacts from the Crusader period, including mail suits and swords from the thirteenth century.
The governorate maintains direct road connections to Cairo, Alexandria, and Damietta, facilitating transportation throughout the northern Egyptian region.
Archaeological excavations in 2020 revealed 83 ancient tombs containing pottery, jewelry, and makeup tools dating back to 4,000 BC.
