El Delengat

Northern Africa

El Delengat is a town and markaz in the Beheira Governorate of Egypt, about 21 kilometers south of Damanhour, the governorate capital. It is bordered to the south by the Tahrir region, to the east by Kom Hamada and Itay El Barud, and to the west by Hosh Essa. The markaz includes five local village units and 45 villages, and the area is known for agriculture, industry, trade and investment. Its history is traced to the era of the pharaohs, with archaeological sites dating to around 2000 BC and a fortress built under Ramesses II to defend the western Delta against raids from the Libyan Desert. The 1885 Census of Egypt recorded the town with a population of 1,768.
