Talk:Mansoura, Egypt

Fervent nightlife and barbequed delicacies during the festival of the Third Prophet's Dance????? I've never heard of this.--Wedian 09:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

I added a lot in my first session - mostly about history...

Name
Is unclear that was named from the battle of 1250, I suspect that was named after the battle of summer 1221--88.16.142.62 (talk) 14:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

This sentence from the article on the Battle of Al Mansurah would seem to confirm this derivation: "The name of Al Mansurah (Arabic: "the Victorious") that dates from an earlier period[30] was consolidated after this battle." Reference [30] reads: "Al Mansurah was originated by al-Kamil in 1219 as his camp during the siege of Damietta (Fifth Crusade). Skip Knox, Mansourah, The Seventh Crusade. It was named al-Madinah al-Mansurah (the victorious town). Al-Maqrizi, al-Mawaiz wa al-'i'tibar, p. 373/ vol.1" TristramBrelstaff (talk) 12:01, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Population?
Header has 420,000 but infobox 1,045,000. Quite big difference. Which is right? 82.141.64.235 (talk) 04:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

Mansura is a known city by ( The Most beautiful Girls In Egypt ), and that's true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.34.56.87 (talk) 17:23, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
