About Al Qanāţir al Khayrīyah
El Qanater El Khayreya (Egyptian Arabic: القناطر الخيرية pronounced [elʔɑˈnɑːtˤeɾ elxæjˈɾejjæ], meaning "the Benevolent Bridges") is a city and a markaz in Qalyubia Governorate, Egypt. It is the location of the Delta Barrages, the first modern irrigation structure across the Nile, located at the apex of the Nile Delta. In the mid 1850s, when Khedive Sa'id Pasha took over project construction, he ordered a silver medal to be struck to mark the occasion. He then ordered the construction of a town near the incomplete barrage.
