Mansoura....


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").

Mansoura lies 60Km away from the Mediterranean sea and also 120km away from Cairo ,
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.
