📍 Geographic Location of Mansoura
Geographic Overview and Administrative Jurisdiction
The Egyptian national dialing code +20 50 is a geographic area code assigned to the Mansoura telephone district, serving the capital of the Dakahlia Governorate in the Nile Delta region. This code covers Mansoura city proper, its surrounding suburban areas, and several administrative centers within the governorate, including Talkha, Mit Ghamr, and Aga. As a geographic allocation, the prefix is tied to the physical PSTN infrastructure of the region, although modern fiber-optic and VoIP services may also operate under this code.
Dialing Formats and Caller Instructions
For domestic callers within Egypt, the local format requires dialing the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number: 050 XXX XXXX (where X represents the local seven-digit subscriber number). International callers must omit the leading zero and dial the country code, area code, and subscriber number: +20 50 XXX XXXX. For example, a landline in Mansoura might be reached internationally as +20 50 123 4567. When calling from within Egypt to a Mansoura number, dial 050 123 4567.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
As of the latest ITU-T E.164 national numbering plan updates, the Mansoura area code does not have an overlay code; the region is exclusively served by +20 50. Subscriber numbers are seven digits long, and the total length of an international number (including country code) is 12 digits. No recent changes have been announced regarding the introduction of an overlay or migration to a closed dialing plan, but users should always verify with their service provider for any local dialing adjustments.
Services and Usage
This geographic code is used for fixed-line telephony, including residential, business, and government lines. It also supports DSL and fiber broadband services that are delivered over the PSTN. While mobile numbers in Egypt are non-geographic (starting with 10, 11, 12, or 15), the +20 50 code remains essential for reaching landlines in the Mansoura area. Callers from abroad should note that international tariffs apply, and local numbers must be dialed in full international format when calling from a mobile phone or VoIP service.
