Damietta, Port city in Nile Delta, Egypt
Damietta stretches along the eastern bank of the Nile Delta branch, 15 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea and 200 kilometers north of Cairo.
The city endured numerous invasions during the Crusades, leading Mamluk sultan Baybars I to relocate it inland for enhanced protection between 1260 and 1277.
The Amr ibn al-As Mosque stands as the second mosque constructed in Egypt after the Islamic conquest, marking centuries of religious and architectural development.
The Damietta Port handles substantial maritime traffic, providing an alternative route when weather conditions affect operations at neighboring Mediterranean harbors.
Local manufacturers produce specialized wooden furniture that reaches markets across Arab nations and European countries through established export channels.
