Damietta (Egyptian Arabic: دمياط, romanized: Dumyāṭ, pronounced [domˈjɑːtˤ]) is a port city which serves as the capital city of the Damietta Governorate in Egypt. It is located at the Damietta branch, an eastern distributary of the Nile Delta, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from the Mediterranean Sea, and about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north of Cairo. The city was a Catholic bishopric and is a multiple titular see. Damietta is also a member of the UNESCO Global Network of Learning Cities, having joined in 2019.[3]

Etymology

Egyptologist Heinrich Karl Brugsch believed that the town was Het-nebset in ancient Egypt.[4] Damietta is an Italian adaptation of the Arabic name Dumyāṭ. The settlement is called Tamiat/Tamiati (Coptic: ⲧⲁⲙⲓⲁϯ Late Coptic: [dɑmˈjɑdi]) in Coptic. The medieval author al-Maqrizi believed that Damietta's name originated from the Syriac language.[5] In medieval Jewish tradition reflected in Geniza documents the city is equated with biblical Capthor (Biblical Hebrew: כפתור) and is called Kapotkya (Biblical Hebrew: קפוטקיא).[6]

Geography

Damietta is 1-2 metres above sea level and 12 kilometres from the mouth of the eastern tributary of the Nile Delta. Coastal progradation by the Nile created the land in the area in the 1st millennium.[7]

History

Early history and Islam

The first historical mention of Damietta was by the 6th-century geographer Stephanus of Byzantium.[8] The city was called Tamíathis (Ancient Greek: Ταμίαθις) in the Hellenistic period.[9] George of Cyprus wrote about the city around 605 AD.[7] In 1885, Karl Baedeker wrote that a stone featuring the name of Domitian (r. 81–96) was in Damietta.[10]

Miqdad ibn Aswad conquered Damietta and the rest of Egypt.[11] The Byzantine Empire attacked Damietta in 708–709, 738–739, 852–853,[7] 921, and 968.[8] Caliph al-Mutawakkil had walls built for the city after the Byzantines sacked the city in 853.[11][7]

The Amr ibn al-As Mosque is reported to be the second oldest mosque in Egypt.[7]

The Sufi organisation Qalandariyya was founded by Jamal al-Din Saoji in Damascus and Damietta in the 13th century.[12]

The Abbasid Caliphate used Alexandria, Damietta, Aden and Siraf as entry ports to India and Tang China.[13]

Badr al-Jamali started his four year military campaign in Egypt after arriving in Damietta in December 1073.[14]

The Veil of St. Anne was woven in Damietta in 1096 or 1097.[15]

Crusaders

Damietta was attacked by crusaders in 1155 and by a joint crusader and Byzantine force in 1169.[16][17] Amalric, King of Jerusalem sieged the city in 1169, but failed and additional city walls were created for Damietta.[7]

During preparations for the Fifth Crusade in 1217, it was decided that Damietta should be the focus of attack. Control of Damietta meant control of the Nile, and from there the Crusaders believed they could conquer Egypt. From Egypt, they could then attack Ayyubid-ruled Palestine and recapture Jerusalem. After the siege of Damietta of 1218–19, the port was occupied by the Crusaders. The siege devastated the population of Damietta. After the crusaders captured Damietta in November 1219, they looted the city.[18] Only 3,000 of the city's 70,000 inhabitants survived the siege.[8]

Earlier that year, Francis of Assisi had arrived to negotiate with the Muslim ruler peaceably.[19][20] In 1221 the Crusaders attempted to march to Cairo, but were destroyed by the combination of nature and Muslim defenses.[21]

Damietta was also the object of the Seventh Crusade, led by Louis IX of France. His fleet arrived there in 1249 and quickly captured the fort, which he refused to hand over to the nominal king of Jerusalem, to whom it had been promised during the Fifth Crusade.[22] However, having been taken prisoner with his army in April 1250, Louis was obliged to surrender Damietta as ransom.[8]

Modern

Damietta was destroyed by the Mamluks in November 1250, and a new town was founded to the south around an old mosque.[16][23] The first mention of Damietta in Mamluk sources after its destruction was when Sultan Aybak gave the town to Prince Ala' al-Din Aydaghdi al-Azizi in 1254.[23] Sultan Baybars ordered that the river be blocked to seafaring ships in 1260, and this work was completed in 1264.[24]

The Republic of Genoa attacked Damietta in May 1384,[25] and February 1412.[26]

The first mention of a governor for Damietta was by scholar Izz al-Din ibn Shaddad in 1285. The governorship was upgraded to viceroyalty by Sultan Barsbay in 1427.[27] Ibn Battuta wrote during his stay in Damietta that Governor Ahmad ibn Bilbak al-Muhsini would not allow anybody to enter or leave the port without his permission.[28] The historian Ibn Duqmaq was governor for a short period.[29] Governor Muhammad al-Salakhuri was killed in a riot in 1418,[30] after a group of fishermen rose up in rebellion.[31]

A fire broke out across the city in 1425 and destroyed one-third of Damietta.[32]

Sultan Al-Mansur Ali was banished to Damietta after being overthrown by Qutuz in 1259.[23] Prince Yalbugha al-Salimi was exiled to the city from 1400 to 1402.[33] The Ottomans banished people to Damietta, such as Umar Makram in 1809.[7]

Ottoman soldiers sent to Arabia and Yemen commonly went via a sea route going through Damietta and then on land to Cairo.[34]

Koca Hüsrev Mehmed Pasha was sent to Egypt to suppress a rebellion by Albanian soldiers. However, he was defeated in Alexandria and withdrew to Damietta. At Damietta he surrendered to an army led by Muhammad Ali of Egypt and Mamluk leader Uthman Bey al-Bardisi in July 1803.[11]

Damietta was a centre of the Urabi revolt and city governor Abdul-Al supported the Urabi movement.[35]

The first cholera case of the 1883 epidemic that killed 50,000 people in Egypt was reported in Damietta on 22 June.[36]

Ecclesiastical history

Hellenistic Tamiathis became a Christian bishopric, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Pelusium, the capital of the Roman province of Augustamnica Prima, to which Tamiathis belonged. Its bishop Heraclius took part in the Council of Ephesus in 431. Helpidius was a signatory of the decree of Patriarch Gennadius of Constantinople against simony in 459. Bassus was at the Second Council of Constantinople (553). In a letter from Patriarch Michael I of Alexandria read at the Photian Council of Constantinople (879), mention is made of Zacharias of Tamiathis, who had attended a synod that Michael had convened in support of Photius. Later bishops too of Tamiathis are named in other documents.[44][45]

There are four known bishops for Damietta between 431 and 879.[8] In 1249, when Louis IX of France captured the city, it became for a short time the seat of a Latin Church bishop Gilles of Saumur.[46][8]

The Latin bishopric, no longer residential, is today listed by the Catholic Church twice as a titular see under the names Tamiathis (Latin) and Damiata (Curiate Italian), each at time of episcopal or archiepiscopal rank, of the Latin and Melkite Catholic Churches.[47]

Demographics

Benjamin of Tudela reported that Damietta had 200 Jews in 1170.[49]

In the 1897 census there were 31,000 to 32,000 people recorded in Damietta, making it the 10th largest settlement in Egypt.[50] In 1907, 1% of Egypt's population lived in Damietta.[51] The Catholic Encyclopedia reported a population of 53,000, with all of them being Muslim except for 75 members of the Melkite Greek Catholic Church, 60 Roman Catholic, and 250 other Christians.[8] Budge reported a population of 29,354 in 1911.[4]

Climate

Köppen-Geiger climate classification system classifies its climate as hot desert (BWh), but blowing winds from the Mediterranean Sea greatly moderate the temperatures, typical to the Egypt's north coast, making its summers moderately hot with relatively high humidity while its winters mild and moderately wet where sleet and hail are also common.

Port Said, Kosseir, Ras El Bar, Baltim, Damietta and Alexandria have the least temperature variation in Egypt.

Economy

The Damietta governorate has a population of around 1,093,580 (2006). It contains the SEGAS LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) plant,[53] which will ultimately have a capacity of 9.6 million ton/year through two trains. The plant is owned by Segas, a joint venture of the Spanish utility Unión Fenosa (40%), Italian oil company Eni (40%) and the Egyptian companies EGAS and EGPC (10% each).[54]

The plant is unusual since it is not supplied from a dedicated field, but is supplied with gas from the Egyptian grid. As of 2010, EMethanex, the Egyptian division of Methanex Corporation, a Canadian owned company, was building a 3600 MTPD methanol plant. Damietta also has a woodworking industry and is also noted for its White Domiati cheese and other dairy products[55] and Pâtisserie and Egyptian desserts. It is also a fishing port.

Sea trade

Changes to the Nile in the 9th and 10th century, such as the Canopic branch drying up, resulted in trade diverting from Alexandria to Damietta and Rosetta.[56] The abandonment of the port city Tinnis in the 12th century increased the commercial importance of Damietta.[7]

In 1783, 498 ships came to and left Damietta.[57] From 1786 to 1798, around 11.5 million paras were collected by customs in Damietta.[58] This figure was only behind the 12.3 million paras of Alexandria and 15.4 million paras of Cairo.[59] One of the major rice growing areas of Ottoman Egypt was around Damietta.[60]

The creation of the Mahmudiyya Canal diverted trade away from Damietta and to Alexandria.[16] Its importance was further diminished by the Suez Canal.[10] Egyptologist E. A. Wallis Budge blamed the growth of Port Said for the decline of Damietta.[61]

Textiles

A textile industry exists in Damietta and it was a major producer of silk in the 19th century. The 1872 census reported that 166 workshops produced 20,000 pieces of silk per year.[62] A 1919 government report stated that Damietta was one of the major centres of textile production and had over 200 looms. 'Abd al-Fattah Bey al-Lozy, the largest loom owner in Damietta with 37 looms, produced around 170,000 metres of silk fabric per year in 1910.[63]

Damietta is very famous for its furniture industry. In addition to the Egyptian market, its furniture is sold in Arab countries, Africa, Europe, the United States, and almost all over the world. Today, there is a canal connecting it to the Nile, which has made it an important port once again. Containers are transported through the new Damietta Port.

Damietta — (Gr. Tamiathis, Arab. Doumiât).

An Egyptian titular see for the Latins and the Catholic Melchite Greeks, in Augustamnica Prima. Damietta, first mentioned by Stephanus Byzantius, was situated at the mouth of the Phatnitic branch of the Nile, on the right bank; its prosperity seems to have coincided with the decline of its religious metropolis Pelusium. Only four bishops are known, from 431 to 879. Under Caliph Omar the Arabs took it by treachery and successfully defended it against the Greeks who tried to recover it, particularly in 739, 821, 921 and 968. The Arabs also repulsed several attacks of Amaury I, King of Jerusalem. It was finally captured by Jean de Brienne, 1219, after a siege of 15 months; of its 70,000 inhabitants only 3000 survived. St. Francis of Assisi visited the camp of the crusaders and went thence to that of Sultan Malek Kemel to preach the Christian Faith. In 1221 the Franks were defeated and obliged to abandon the town. In June, 1249, it was again captured by St. Louis, who transformed into a church the magnificent mosque El-Fatah and established there a Latin bishop, Gilles; but having been taken prisoner with his army, April, 1250, he was obliged to surrender Damietta as ransom. In 1251 the Sultan, hearing that the pious king was preparing a new crusade, ordered the town and its citadel to be destroyed, except the mosque El-Fatah. Later on fishermen built their shelters among the ruins; in this way the modern town has gradually arisen. The site of ancient Damietta is erroneously placed by some historians at Esbeh el-Bordj, six miles from the modern town. Damietta is no longer at the mouth of the Nile, but ten miles from the sea; it is not heavily Moslem in population. Franciscans have resided there since the time of St. Francis. Wealthy inhabitants of Cairo are wont to retire to Damietta during the heated season. The harbour is of little importance. Damietta is also, probably since the fifth century, a see for the Monophysite Copts; moreover, one of the non-Catholic Greek metropolitans subject to the Patriarch of Alexandria bears the title of Pelusium and Damietta.
