Benha
  Benha is a city in northeastern Egypt, the capital of Qalyubia Governorate, located 48 kilometers north of Cairo, on the right bank of the Damietta Branch in the southern Nile Delta. It is currently a hub for Egypt’s electronics industry. The city serves as a major junction in the railway network and has Egypt’s sixth-largest railway station. It is also home to Benha University.

  In the northern part of Benha lie the sites of several ancient cities known as "Athribis," which date back to 1500 BCE but have never been studied by archaeologists. Over the years, farmers in the area have discovered a significant amount of silverware.
