Mit Ghamr (Arabic: ميت غمر, IPA: [ˈmiːt ˈɣɑmɾ]) is a town in Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt.

[2] In 1902, a huge fire broke out in Mit Ghamr that lasted 12 days and spread to the surrounding villages.

The result of this fire was the death of more than 5,000 people, which made this incident the subject of poems of mourning by Egyptian poets such as Ahmed Shawqi and Hafez Ibrahim.

Those villages are located around the city where farmers grow various crops such as corn, rice, wheat and cotton.

In Tafahna [ar], one of the many villages surrounding Mit Ghamr, is a newly-founded branch of Al Azhar University.
