Talkha

Talkha is a city in the Dakahlia Governorate of Egypt, in the Nile Delta, about 120 kilometres northeast of Cairo. It stands on the west bank of the Damietta branch, a distributary of the Nile, directly opposite the city of Mansoura, and the two cities together form an agglomeration. Talkha contains the neighbourhoods of Old Market, El Maalamein, Ar Rouda, El Sharifa and El Muhandisin. Its climate is classified as hot desert under the Koppen-Geiger system, like most of Egypt. The source article on the city is short and gives no population, founding date or history, so this entry records only its location, its relationship to Mansoura and its neighbourhoods.
