Mit Ghamr (Arabic: ميت غمر, IPA: [ˈmiːt ˈɣɑmɾ]) is a city in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt and located on the banks of the Damietta branch. It is a major center producing aluminium accounting for more than 70% of Egypt's total production, especially aluminum utensils. It is a city in Dakahlia Governorate, where it is second only to Al Mansurah in population and importance,It was a center of Sufism during the Mamluk era, and was later settled by foreign communities in the modern era. It also played a role in resisting the French and British occupations.

Etymology

[edit]

Mit Ghamr was historically known as "Minyat Ghamr" (Arabic: منية غمر), but Over time, the name evolved into its current form,[2] The word "Minyat" has an Arabic origin meaning "an elegant house surrounded by gardens." Some researchers believe that "Mit" comes from a Coptic word of ancient Egyptian origin meaning "road" or another word meaning "place."[3] However, researchers favor the Arabic origin of the word, given the widespread use of "Minyat" in the names of Egyptian villages and cities during the Islamic era. A number of ancient historians, such as Yaqut al-Hamawi in his Dictionary of Countries, referred to many places in Egypt that bore the name "Minyat" which supports this interpretation,[4] The word "Ghamr" means submersion or flood Because of the city's proximity to the eastern branch of the Nile River, it was submerged several times before the construction of the High Dam. Therefore, the city's name in Coptic theory means "flooded place.", and In Arabic it means "the elegant house submerged in water."[3]

History

[edit]

Foundation and Origin

[edit]

The foundation of Mit Ghamr—historically known as Minyat Ghamr—dates back to the Fatimid period (10th–12th centuries CE). During that era, large tracts of land in the eastern Nile Delta, particularly in the region known as al-Ḥūf al-Sharqī (the Eastern District), were granted to Arab tribes to secure their allegiance and ensure stability near the Damietta branch of the Nile.[5]

Among the many Arab settlements established in this region was Minyat Ghamr, which emerged as one of the larger villages along the eastern bank of the Nile, directly across from the present-day city of Zefta. Historical sources such as al-Maqrīzī and al-Qalqashandī mention the presence of Arab tribes—particularly Lakhm and Judhām—in the area Among them are the Banu Shawar, who are attributed to the well-known Fatimid minister, Shawar.[5][6][7]

Ayyubid foundation inscription dated 619 AH / 1222 AD on the minaret of Sheikh al-Ghamri in Mit Ghamr. It records the renewal of a now-lost prayer hall.

Later, during the Ayyubid period, waves of migration continued due to the Crusades. Tribes from the Eastern Delta and the ancient port of al-Farama (Pelusium) moved inland, founding new villages named after their clans, many of which were prefixed with the term Manyat, In this context, Minyat Ghamr grew in prominence and eventually evolved into the modern city known today as Mit Ghamr.[5]

The Mamluk era

[edit]

During the Mamluk era, Mit Ghamr was administratively affiliated to the Eastern Province, and enjoyed a prominent position among the Mamluk princes, as they were granted fiefdoms there[3]. The city witnessed unrest and destruction in 863 AH / 1458 AD due to the transgressions of some Arab sheikhs, which prompted its notables to form a delegation that headed to Cairo to present their complaints to Sultan Sayf al-Din Inal, who ordered the dispatch of a Mamluk military force to maintain security and restore stability, the city was a center for Sufi scholars and religious figures, attracting disciples from across Egypt. Several historical shrines remain, such as the Shrine of Sidi Muhammad al-Wa’iz, Sidi Khalaf, and the Forty Saints, dating back to the 15th century. The Mamluk Sultan Qaitbay attempted to meet Abu al-Abbas al-Ghamri, one of the city's renowned Sufi figures, but was unsuccessful, so he later sent his son to visit him.[8]

The Ottoman era

[edit]

The administrative status of the city changed during the Ottoman era, as Mit Ghamr was annexed to the Dakahlia Governorate according to the Ottoman quadrature carried out by the Ottoman governor Hadım Suleiman Pasha during the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent[9].The Turkish traveler Evliya Çelebi noted that during his visit, Mit Ghamr contained 4,000 houses, 9 mosques, 35 mosques, 7 schools, 12 offices, 7 caravanserais, and 600 shops.[10]

In the Ottoman era, Mit Ghamr thrived as a key trade hub due to its strategic location along the Nile River trade routes. However, the city suffered significant destruction when Abd al-Daim bin Baqar, a rebel Arab tribal leader, burned it down during his revolt against Ottoman rule During the reign of Hayır Bey of Egypt.[11][12][13]

Mit Ghamr was also distinguished by its flourishing blacksmithing industry, with an integrated industrial complex comprising markets, workshops, and an administrative system overseen by the "Qisaira." This industry had a clear and integrated infrastructure, demonstrating the advancement of the city's traditional crafts. The city also featured a prominent goldsmiths' quarter, which specialized in crafting and selling gold and silver jewelry and still exists today. It is noteworthy that the dhimmis (non-Muslims) monopolized this profession at the time.[3]

Général François Lanusse

During Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt, Mit Ghamr resisted by cutting off supplies to the French forces along the Nile Which angered the French. This rebellion was led by Mustafa Bey Katkhuda, the Amir al-hajj. Although Napoleon had appointed him Amir of Hajj, he took advantage of Napoleon's departure from Egypt and began the attack. Mit Ghamr was the center of his rebellion. On June 5, 1799, the French attempted to crush a revolt in Mit Ghamr. They headed towards the village of Kafour Negm in sharqia where the Mit Ghamr rebels had gathered, preparing to confront the French. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides, ending in the defeat of the rebels, who suffered 130 casualties. Napoleon Bonaparte then ordered the reinforcement of French forces in Mit Ghamr by establishing permanent military garrisons to maintain control of the Nile Delta. However, Mit Ghamr witnessed several subsequent disturbances, forcing the French army to resort to repressive and violent methods to impose security and stability. In retaliation for the seizure of the ships, the French General Lanusse ordered the burning and destruction of the city.[14][15][16][17]

The Muhammad Ali dynasty era

[edit]

Mit Ghamr witnessed an industrial and educational renaissance during the reign of Muhammad Ali. A cotton spinning factory was established there, with 75 wheels and 50 cotton gins. It was part of a network of factories established in Lower Egypt to support the spinning and weaving industry. An indigo factory was also established in the city, which was used locally, and the surplus was sent to Cairo to be sold in foreign markets. These factories contributed to stimulating the local economy and strengthening the city's industrial role, which continues to the present day. An elementary school was established there in 1837, teaching French, Arabic, and Turkish, along with mathematics, history, and other subjects. Muhammad Ali hired a number of Al-Azhar scholars to oversee its affairs, but the school was closed in 1846 after the Egyptian-Ottoman War.[18][19]

By the 19th and early 20th centuries, during the rule of the Muhammad Ali dynasty, Mit Ghamr became home to a large foreign community, including Greeks, Italians, and French residents. At its peak in the late 19th century, the foreign population exceeded 200 individuals, which was significant for a provincial Egyptian city. Many European-style villas and mansions remain from this period, such as the Babban Mansion (formerly an Italian bank) and the Imbroir Mansion.[11]

In 1902, a huge fire broke out in Mit Ghamr that lasted 12 days and spread to the surrounding villages. The result of this fire was the affected of more than 5,000 people and alot of them died, This prompted many celebrities in Egypt to ask people to donate to rebuild the city and help its people. Among the most prominent of these was the writer Mustafa Lutfi Al-Manfaluti and Imam Muhammad Abduh, who said about the incident: “The accident is not a minor one; the number of injured is five thousand and a few hundred, including children who lost their families, and merchants and craftsmen whose machines and capital were destroyed, and it is impossible for them to start life again except with the help of their brothers, otherwise they will become vagrants, voyeurists, or beggars.”[20]which made this incident the subject of poems of mourning by Egyptian poets such as Ahmed Shawqi and Hafez Ibrahim.[21]

Mit Ghamr, like other Egyptian cities, felt negative feelings toward the British occupation[22].During the British occupation of Mit Ghamr witnessed resistance against British forces, particularly concerning the railway lines. General Wilson sent a train to repair the damaged railway, but it was ambushed by locals who cut the line behind it. A British rescue force attempted to intervene but withdrew in the face of strong resistance from a local Vigilance Committee. Subsequent clashes occurred, with British forces claiming to have killed 30 people, then 50 more, while dispersing further attempts to destroy the railway. Additional reinforcements were deployed, resulting in 10 more casualties. Despite these efforts, Wilson admitted that Mit Ghamr remained outside British control for some time, and the railway continued to be a target of local resistance.[23]Also one of the most notable events occurred after Youssef El-Gindi declared the Zefta Republic in 1919. British forces sent military reinforcements to storm Zifta. After failing to take control, the forces withdrew to Mit Ghamr to regroup in preparation for a new attack. However, they encountered fierce resistance from the people of Mit Ghamr,[24] prompting Britain to dispatch the 15th Australian Light Horse Regiment quell the unrest in the city and ensure the restoration of control.[25][26][27] British forces also used armored trains to protect railway lines and secure military supplies, which played a pivotal role in British military operations during this period.[28]

The Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society with Frederick Oakley Lasbrey founded a medical mission in Mit Ghamr in 1928.[29]

Mit Ghamr actively participated in the national movement during the 1935 uprising against the British occupation. On November 14, the city's students held a massive demonstration to mark National Jihad Day, chanting for the downfall of England and the government and denouncing Hoare's statement. On November 21, lawyers in Mit Ghamr went on strike in solidarity with the nationwide strikes mourning the martyrs. On December 14, a massive evening demonstration, spearheaded by the doctors' and lawyers' unions, residents, merchants, and students, toured the city in protest and national outrage. Chanting was for the National Front, independence, and the 1923 Constitution.[30]

The Modern era

[edit]

The events of the 2011 Egyptian revolution in Mit Ghamr saw about 10,000 demonstrators take to the streets of the city. A number of them tried to storm a police station, but the officers and sergeants threatened to fire live bullets, and the rest of the demonstrators confronted them to prevent acts of sabotage.[31]

In 2013, Mit Ghamr witnessed widespread protests and demonstrations against the Muslim Brotherhood in front of the group's headquarters in the city The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "The people want to bring down the regime." leading to clashes between protesters and Brotherhood members, culminating in the storming and destruction of the headquarters.[32][33]
