Mansoura is considered to be Egypt's "third largest city" after Cairo, and Alexandria . Mansoura is a beautiful city in Dakahlia governorate(one of the 26 governorates of Egypt). It is located at the east of Damietta branch of the Nile river.
It is a relatively new city, built in 1280 after the Muslims defeated the Crusaders on its land during the Seventh Crusade (therefore leading to the name Mansoura-"Victorious").

connected by a sophisticated transport system especially,trains & buses...
So,it is easily can be reached from Cairo Airport by: taking a bus(from the bus station beside the airport) to Ramses Square,then to Al Qolaly East Delta bus station having a bus to Mansoura.

Social Life

When we think about Egypt, camels, pyramids, and mummies often come to
mind! That's not surprising since much of what we know about ancient Egypt comes from the tombs of Egyptians and the objects found buried with them.

most people who think of Egypt think of antiquities, but Egypt offers
much more. Certainly it is a prime location to see our great heritage from the ancient world,including Pyramids and wonderful temples, but it is also part of the Holy Land, and tours to Christian and other religious monuments
are popular.
Yet Egypt also offers nature and desert treks, great scuba diving and even golf, fishing and birding expeditions. One may choose to relax on the wondrous Egypt Red Sea or Sinai coasts, take in the high culture of
Cairo, or even leisurely float down the Egyptian Nile on a luxurious river boat.
