El Manzala (Arabic: المنزلة) is a region (markaz) in Egypt. Situated in the Dakahlia Governorate, it lies on the Lake Manzala coast in the northeastern part of the country.

Etymology

[edit]

The town's name comes from Lake Manzala which in turn derives from Arabic: نزل, romanizednazala, lit.'descend, stop, settle down'. In Middle Ages it was also known as pi-Manjōili (Coptic: ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛϫⲱⲓⲗⲓ, lit.'inn, lodging'), translated into Greek as Xenedokhou (Ancient Greek: Ξενεδόχου), thus making the modern Arabic name a translation of a Coptic one, where phonetic resemblance is only coincidental.[1]

Projects

[edit]

In 2018 money was earmarked by the Egyptian Government for infrastructure projects in El Manzala.[2]
