Do the small Delta governorates get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Can I mark the capitals?

Yes — a dot for each governorate’s capital, such as Hurghada for the Red Sea and Kharga for the New Valley, with Cairo ringed.

Where does the map come from?

From Natural Earth, a free public-domain map dataset. It is a map to learn and colour, not to measure distances.

Which governorates have a capital with another name?

Eleven: Beheira (Damanhur), Monufia (Shibin El Kom), Gharbia (Tanta), Qalyubia (Banha), Dakahlia (Mansoura), Sharqia (Zagazig), North Sinai (Arish), Matrouh (Mersa Matruh), South Sinai (El-Tor), New Valley (Kharga) and Red Sea (Hurghada). On the map with names and capitals these are the capitals named; the others are dots alone, as the city has the governorate’s name.

Is the worksheet numbered the same on every paper?

Nearly. The numbers follow the map from the north, and the map sits a little differently on each paper: on A4 Cairo is 18, on US Letter and A3 it is 8. The answers page always matches the sheet you printed.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The map is made in your browser. On the free plan a small line with our name is printed at the foot of the sheet.

Egypt’s 27 governorates for a Nile unit: names map and capitals worksheet on A4

A history teacher starting a unit on the Nile prints Egypt “With the names” on A4: one landscape page, all 27 governorates named. Six small ones are set outside on thin lines: Alexandria, Damietta and Port Said on the coast, Monufia and Qalyubia in the Delta, and Luxor on the river. On A3 only Damietta, Port Said and Luxor are.

“Mark the capitals” adds 27 dots, Cairo ringed. With the names, the 11 capitals named unlike their governorate get a label (Hurghada, Kharga, Mansoura…); the 16 others are dots alone.
For the test, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals (worksheet + answers)”: two upright A4 pages, numbered as in the table, with lines for governorate and capital, then the answers.
Numbers follow the map from the north, Delta first. On A4 Cairo is 18; on US Letter and A3 it is 8, and the rest shift.
