Tanta

Tanta, in the central Nile Delta of Egypt, is best known as the home of the shrine of the Sufi Ahmad al-Badawi (d. 1276), eponym of the Badawiyya/Ahmadiyya order, whose mawlid (festival) is one of the largest in Egypt. The Shafi'i jurist Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (d. 1566) is connected to the Delta region of Egypt.
