Belbis, Ancient fortress city in Sharqia Governorate, Egypt
Bilbeis spreads across 337 square kilometers on the eastern edge of the southern Nile Delta, featuring traditional markets and architectural structures.
The city played a strategic military role during the Islamic invasion of Egypt in 640 AD and served as a crucial stronghold during the Crusades.
The Sadat Quraish Mosque, constructed in 640, and the Coptic church of St. George represent the religious diversity of this Egyptian settlement.
Located at coordinates 30.416667 latitude and 31.566667 longitude, Bilbeis maintains a population of 866,246 people as recorded in 2021.
The barrage at the entrance of Bilbeis, constructed during the reign of Baybars, remains a testament to the city's water management history.
