Menouf is a city in Egypt located in the Nile Delta, with an area of 18.76 square kilometres. The city gave its name to the Monufia Governorate, where it is located, and was the capital of the governorate until 1826. It is one of several continually inhabited ancient Egyptian cities in the governorate. Menouf was formerly called Minuf al-Ulyah, the upper Menouf, from the Coptic for southern Panouf; the word upper here also means southern, that is upriver in relation to the Nile's flow, and it was used to tell the city apart from Minuf as-Sufli, the lower Minuf.
