Abu El Matamir is a city in Beheira Governorate, Egypt, with a population of 69,338 in 2023. The city is older than the Islamic conquest of Egypt, and the Romans used it for grain storage. Its Arabic name is made of two words, abu, meaning belonging to or father of, and al-matamir, glossed in the source as the plummets, and the name is tied to the practice of storing wheat in matamirs there in the past. Under the Koppen system its climate is classified as hot desert (BWh), like the rest of Egypt. The footballer Mohamed Ibrahim, born in 1992, is listed among its notable people.
