Chapter 1: Getting Ready for Egypt

Egypt is a country in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge to Western Asia. Covering an area of about 1,001,450 square kilometers (386,660 sq mi), Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, to the south and to the west.

Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most famous monuments, including the Giza pyramid complex and its Great Sphinx. The southern city of Luxor contains numerous ancient artifacts, such as the Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings. Egypt is widely regarded as an important political and cultural nation of the Middle East.

Climate Egypt does not receive much rainfall except in the winter months. Temperatures average between 80 °F (27 °C) and 90 °F (32 °C) in summer, and up to 109 °F (43 °C) on the Red Sea coast. Temperatures average between 55 °F (13 °C) and 70 °F (21 °C) in winter. A steady wind from the northwest helps hold down the temperature near the Mediterranean coast.

Chapter 2: Getting Ready for Mansoura city

Mansoura means 'The Victorious (city)'. The city is named after the Egyptian victory over Louis IX of France during the Seventh Crusade.

Mansoura lies on the east bank of Damietta branch of the Nile, in Delta region. Mansoura is about 120 km northeast of Cairo. Across from the city, on the opposite side of the Nile, is the town of

Talkha. Mansoura and Talkha together form a metropolitan city.

The Egyptian Arabic dialect spoken by Mansoura's population is a northern Egyptian Arabic dialect, with noticeable influences from the city's surrounding rural villages, each of which has contributed to the city's population over the years. There are some similarities to Alexandrian Egyptian Arabic in some aspects of

pronunciation.

Mansoura National Museum used to be Dar Ibn Lockman, the house where Louis IX was imprisoned in 1250 during the Seventh Crusade. The suits of mail and swords of the crusaders are displayed in the museum, as well as a collection of maps and huge paintings

depict the Battle of Mansoura.

Mansoura branch of the National Library was recently inaugurated as General Mansoura Library.

Mansoura is famous for its architectural style, especially the Shinnawi Palace (A propriety for Mohamed Bek El-Shinnawi, a member of the Wafd Party). It was built by an Italian architect in 1928. The mosque of El-Saleh Ayoub El-Kebir is one of the most important places in Mansoura. It was built by a loyal servant of the Sultan and is located in Al-Sagha Street that separates "Old Mansoura" from the modern city.

You can get out to: Gizirt El Ward Sports Club, Nile club, El Hawar club where the families and youth of Mansoura spend their weekends. Again, just ask. It is known to everyone. The clubs are only worth visiting to get a better understanding of the culture and fashions.

Chapter 5: Living in Mansoura - Social and Cultural Issues

o Adjusting to life in another country Here are some suggestions that may be helpful: 1. Maintain your perspective as you are not alone. Hundreds of students have come to Mansoura from other countries and have made it! Get to know Mansoura faculty of Medicine professors, staff members and/or students who have visited your country and compare notes with them.

2. Evaluate your expectations. Your reactions to Egypt, to Mansoura are products of the way things are here and the way you expected them to be. If you find yourself being confused or disappointed about something, ask yourself: "What did I expect?" "Why?"

3. Keep an open mind. Still remember you are in a Muslin country, you will find a lot of helpful people.

4. Learn from experience, coming to Mansoura is an opportunity to experience an entirely new way of living and learning and to compare it to your own. Take advantage of chances to try new things and meet new people while you are here.

5. Allow time for rest and relaxation. Adjusting to a new culture is tiring and stressful. In addition, you may be adjusting to a change of time zones, a new climate and diet. Make sure that you allow yourself additional time to get things done while you first learn your way around Mansoura, get started with your classes, and get used to unfamiliar foods, lifestyles and customs.
