Tanta

The current name of Tanta is a modified form of its ancient Coptic name Tanitad.

Tanta became the capital of the Tandtawi district under the Fatimid Caliph Al‑Mustansir Billah in the 11th century CE.

Tanta is located in the center of the Nile Delta in northern Egypt.

The city's central location has contributed to its growth as a hub for industries and services.

The Ahmad al-Badawi Mosque is the most famous mosque in Tanta and covers an area of one and a half feddans.
