Damanhur

Damanhur is in Lower Egypt.

Understand
Damanhur lies in the Nile Delta about 45 km southeast of Alexandria. Back in ancient Egypt, it was the capital of the nome called Ament, and dedicated to the god Horus. Then, in Greek and Roman times, it became Hermopolis Mikra or Hermopolis Parva because of its association with Hermes (whose Egyptian likeness was Thoth). Today, it is a center for agricultural processing in Lower Egypt and could probably take on the best of conservative-minded municipalities.

Get in
Damanhur is only about 45 km southeast of Alexandria, and is feasibly reached by motorized transport due to its proximity to the Alexandria-Tanta Highway.
