The modern neighborhood of El Mandara is identified with the ancient town of Taposiris or Chersonesus Parva, which was mentioned by the ancient writers Strabo and Ptolemy.[1] The ancient Greek geographer Strabo wrote that young people of Alexandria would celebrate feasts in the neighborhood.[2] There are few remains of the ancient town today.[3][4][5]
