Tannis' lost city in Lake Manzala
The archaeological city of Tanis is located in Lake Manzala in the Port Said Governorate. It was one of the most important economic and military centers in Islamic Egypt. Renowned for its luxurious textile industry and export, it also produced the Kiswa, the cloth covering the Kaaba. The city developed significantly during the Umayyad and Abbasid eras, with the construction of a city wall and an expansion of its political and military influence. Gradually, it disappeared from the map, but it left behind a rich cultural legacy. Today, it awaits transformation into an archaeological and tourism zone to attract visitors and support the region's economy.
