Kafr El Sheikh
Kafr El Sheikh (Egyptian Arabic: كفر الشيخ, lit. 'village of the Sheikh' pronounced [kɑfɾ eʃˈʃeːx]) is an Egyptian city and the capital of Kafr El Sheikh Governorate, Egypt, about 134 km north of Cairo, in the Nile Delta of lower Egypt. As of 2023, the city had a population of around 186,857. Kafr El Sheikh was earlier known as Duminqun (Arabic: دمينقون), but was officially named Fuadiyah or Fouadiyah (Arabic: فؤاديه) in honour of King Fuad I of Egypt. After the Egyptian Revolution of 1952 and the subsequent abolition of the monarchy, the governorate took the name of its capital city Kafr El Sheikh. This name, adopted in 1955, means "the village of the chief". In 2006 the University of Kafr El Sheikh was established.
