Al Qalyubia

Al Qalyubia (also called Al-Qalyubiyah, Qalyubia, or محافظة القليوبية) is a governorate (muḥāfaẓah) in Lower Egypt, immediately north of Cairo, at the head of the Nile Delta. 

It is a small but very densely populated area (one of the most densely populated in Egypt). 

Capital: Banha (Benha). 

Main cities: Banha, Qalyub, Shubra El Kheima (which merges seamlessly into Greater Cairo), Toukh, and Al Khankah. 

Economy: Strongly focused on agriculture (corn, cotton, wheat, clover, vegetables, fruits such as citrus, bananas, and apricots) and poultry and eggs (Egypt's number one in this regard). 

Industry: primarily in Shubra El Kheima (electrical appliances, plastics, auto parts, petroleum refining, chemicals). 

Part of the Greater Cairo metropolitan area in the south. 

In short: a fertile, intensively farmed, and industrialized area that serves as Cairo's "backyard" and food producer, with a mix of rural and urban sprawl.
