Abu El Matamir (Abū al Maţāmīr)
Abu El Matamir (ابو المطامير ) is a city in Egypt. As of 2006 it had a population of 44,415.
The city existed before the Islamic conquest of Egypt, and the Romans used it as a grain storage. The city was named by this name because wheat is stored in the past in what is called Matmur and its plural Matamir.
The Arabic name is from two words ابو "attributed"/"belonging"/father" and المطامير "the plummets".
