Dairut

Dairut is a city in Egypt on the west bank of the Nile, in the Asyut Governorate. Its position is notable because it stands at the point where the Nile divides: a branch leaves the main river here and eventually ends up in the Faiyum. The city's name is written in Coptic as Terot. Under the Koppen-Geiger climate classification its climate is hot desert. Hafez Ibrahim, Mohamed Mustagab and Farghali Abdel Hafiz are listed among its notable people. The source read for this entry is short, so the city's history, population and economy are not yet recorded here.
