دار أوبرا دمنهور
This is a nice example of neoclassical architecture.
مسجد التوبة
This is quite the structure with a minaret and domes dominating its general appearance. And it was the second mosque to be built in Egypt, constructed by Amr ibn al-As.
مسجد ناصر
In case you are mosque-hopping, this one is quite large with a single tall minaret.
Here you can witness an end of the world's longest river as it empties into the Mediterranean Sea, though it's not the famous place at Lesan Area.
Damanhur is only about 45 km southeast of Alexandria, and is feasibly reached by motorized transport due to its proximity to the Alexandria-Tanta Highway.
