Egypt is a land bustling with life,

sound, visual beauty and

excitement. There is so much to

do and see all over Egypt –this

lovely warm land with its

charming and hospitable people-

that your one and only problem

would be that you may never

want to leave.

With great pleasure we would like

to welcome you in Egypt, The

cradle of civilization and the

home of history. Egypt is

considered the world's oldest

civilization having emerged from

the Nile Valley around 3,000

years ago and also is considered

one of the oldest vacation spots.

Early Greeks, Romans and others

went there just for fun, and to

see the wonders of some of

mankind's earliest triumphs. But

Egypt is much more than

Pyramids and monuments. It's a

cultural experience like none you

have ever experienced.

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.
