Qantir

Qantir (قنتير) is a village in Egypt. Qantir is believed to mark what was probably the ancient site of the 19th Dynasty Pharaoh Ramesses II's capital, Pi-Ramesses or Per-Ramesses ("House or Domain of Ramesses"). It is situated around 9 km north of Faqous in the Sharqiyah province of the eastern Nile Delta, about 60 mi north-east of Cairo.

The Arabic name of the village contains ⲉⲛⲧⲏⲣ.

The ancient site of Avaris is located around 2 km south of Qantir. This was the older city in this area. Later on, Avaris was absorbed by Pi-Ramesses.
