Dekheila (Arabic: الدخيلة) is a neighborhood in Alexandria, Egypt with a large seaport.

It is located 7 miles west of Alexandria and the seaport is an extension of the port located in Alexandria.

[1][2] Dekheila is the probable location of the ancient Christian monastic complex of the Pempton at the fifth milestone west of Alexandria.

There is evidence of a Gaianite community there.
