Al Mansurah (Arabic المنصورة) is considered to be Egypt's "third largest city" after Cairo, and Alexandria . It is a relatively new city, built in 1280 after the Muslims defeated the Crusaders on its land during the Seventh Crusade (therefore leading to the name Mansurah—"Victorious"). It is a scenic city on the east bank of the east branch of River Nile. It is the capital of Dakahliya governate. This governate is famous for producing some of the most acclaimed Egyptians in the fields of science, engineering, medicine and arts. The urology and nephrology center of Mansoura University is considered the best kidney center in the Middle East and Africa. Across from Al Mansurah, on the opposite bank of the nile, is the city of Talkha. Mansurah is about 120 km northeast of Cairo and 40 km north of Mit Ghamr, the Egyptian city center of producing aluminium accounting for more than 70% of the total Egyptian production of this mineral. Mansoura is also said to have the most beautiful women in all of Egypt and men actually seek out Mansurah women for brides because of this. Al Mansurah also has a small history museum which focuses on the victory from which it was founded.
