Overview
Damietta: a city of the northern Delta on the mouth of the Nile. According to the conquests of the lands, Amr ibn al-As sent to it Umayr ibn Wahb al-Jumahi, together with Tanis, Tunah, Dumayra, Shata, Daqhaliya, Bana and Busir, and the people of their villages made peace on the same terms as the judgement of Fustat. 1
In the museum's data Damietta is linked to the event of the four commanders in Egypt, and Amr ibn al-As is the one who sent Umayr ibn Wahb to it.
