El Manzala

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

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.

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

El Manzala comprises villages such as:
