Mansoura, Capital city in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt

The city extends along the eastern bank of the Damietta branch of the Nile River, approximately 120 kilometers northeast of Cairo.

During the Seventh Crusade in 1250, Mansoura witnessed a defining battle where Egyptian forces defeated and captured King Louis IX of France.

The Mansoura National Museum, located in Dar Ibn Lockman, displays military artifacts, including crusader armor, swords, and battle scene paintings.

The University of Mansoura operates the largest nephrology and urology medical center in the Middle East and North Africa region.

The house where King Louis IX was imprisoned in 1250 remains preserved and contains the monarch's personal belongings, including his thirteenth-century toilet.
