About Al Mansoura

El Mansoura (Arabic: المنصورة, al-Manṣūrah) is a city in Egypt, with a population of 420,000. It is the capital of the Dakahlia Governorate.

Mansoura means 'The Victorious (city)'. The city is named after the Egyptian victory over Louis IX of France during the Seventh Crusade.

Mansoura lies on the east bank of the Damietta branch of the Nile, in the Delta region. Mansoura is about 120 km northeast of Cairo. Across from the city, on the opposite bank of the Nile, is the town of Talkha. Mansoura and Talkha together form a metropolitan city.

Mansoura was established in 1219 by Saladin's nephew, Abu-Bakr Malik ibn al-Adil I (their phater also known as Saphadin) of the Ayyubid dynasty. After the Egyptians defeated the Crusaders during the Seventh Crusade, it was named Mansoura (aka. "The Victorious").
