A Trip to Mansoura

We had been planning to visit Mansoura since a year ago, today, alhamdullillah, Nana and I finally unchained ourselves from other program to Mansoura, another small town North-East of Alexandria within the Egypt Delta.
We departed Alexandria at 10:00 hrs passed Damanhur, Tanta and finally reached Mansoura at 13:30 hours. It took us 3.5 hours tiring journey because we were using Benha-Mansoura highway instead of Tanta-Mansoura highway. It was tiring journey but another experience for us though!
Mansoura has new town area which they local called it Mahafdzah but otherwise it is a disorganize town with small streets and mismanaged corniche. Nevertheless, the people are nice, kind and pleasant. It is famous for cheap Jalabaya and other women dresses.
There are few hundreds Malaysian students studying Islamic related studies and medical in various universities at Mansoura. We met Dayang Nabilla the grand daughter of the Sarawak Governor, TYT Abang Salehuddin Abang Bareing, who undergoing Medical twinning program with Manchester University, UK. She was with Akidah and Aisha from Selangor. We left Mansoura at 14:30 hours with new experience and knowlede about another part of Egypt.
