==History==
Kafr el-Dawwar is a city near Alexandria where the famous Kafr-el-Dawwar Battle took place between the Egyptian army headed by Ahmed Orabi and the British army during the 1882 Anglo-Egyptian War. For five weeks, Orabi was able to stop British forces from advancing toward Cairo. Changing their strategy, the British forces shifted to Suez canal to reach Cairo through Tel el-Kebir.
In the vicinity of the city, there are a great number of ancient cemeteries (like Kom Ishu, Kom El-Farag, Sidi Ghazi, Kom Defshu, Kom El-Terfayeh, and Tell El-Kanaies), where remains of pottery and some rocks from the Ptolemaic Era can be found.
