This article appears in Volume V26, Page 400 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SUS-TAV
TANTA , a town of
Lower
 
Egypt
 , in a central position nearly midway between the two main branches of the Nile, and converging-point of several railways traversing the
Delta
  in all directions. It has a
population
  (1907) of 54,437, is the
capital
  of the
rich
  province of Gharbia, and is noted for its fairs and Moslem festivals, which are held three times a year in honour of Seyyid el-Bedawi, and are sometimes attended by 200,000 pilgrims and traders. There are a large railway station, a very fine mosque (restored), and a palace of the
khedive
 . Seyyid el-Bedawi, who lived in the 13th
century
  A.D., was a native of Fez who, after a
pilgrimage
  to Mecca, settled in Tanta. He is one of the most popular saints in
Egypt
 .
