History

[edit]

The older name of the town is al-Quseir (Arabic: القصير, lit.'small castle').[1]

During the reign of Mahammad Ali Pasha, the village included the military preparatory school to prepare students to enter military schools, which had a capacity of about 500 students, after it was transferred to it from the El-Qasr el-Eini area in Cairo, where it now had a capacity for about 1,200 students,[2][3] and the Infantry School was also moved to it in the year 1841 from Damietta.[3][2] In 1827, the village was also the cradle of the first medical school established in Egypt.[4]

In modern Egypt, the area is an industrial suburbofCairo, with an extensive military–industrial complex and well-developed chemical industries. It is home to the Armoured production and repair factory, Abu Zaabal Engineering Industries, Abu Zaabal Specialized Industries and Abu Zaabal Specialized Chemicals. [5]
