Banha (Egyptian Arabic: بنها [ˈbænhæ]; Coptic: ⲡⲁⲛⲁϩⲟ, Coptic pronunciation: [ˈpɑnɑho]) is the capital of the Qalyubiyya Governorate in north-eastern Egypt. Between the capital of Cairo and the city of Tanta, Banha is an important transport hub, as rail lines from Cairo to various cities in the Nile Delta pass through it. Banha was founded as a city in 1850.
