Banha (also spelled Benha) (Arabic: بنها) is a city in northeastern Egypt, also the capital of the Al Qalyubiyah Governorate. Egyptians call it Banha ELasal which means "Benha of honey". It is located 48 km (30 mins) north of Cairo. Banha is located on the east bank of the Damietta Branch of the Nile River in the rich farmland of the southern part of the river's delta. Well-irrigated by canals leading off the Delta Barrage, a dam 30 km (20 min) upstream, the surrounding farmland produces wheat and long-staple cotton. Since ancient times, Banha has been known for the production of attar of roses, an ingredient in perfume. Today it is the center of Egypt's electronics industry. Banha is a major junction in the rail network that radiates north from Cairo. Downtown Banha Contains Egypts first 100% Egyptian drug store El Nayeb Pharmacy founded back in 1907 by Dr.Ahmed M.
