Ḵarībtā

Kharibta is a village in the western Nile Delta, in the cultivated country of Buhayra. Its name appears in medieval Egyptian administrative lists, including Ibn Mammati's register of the district of Hawf Ramsis and the later survey of Ibn al-Ji'an. Earlier Islamic accounts also mention Kharibta during the disputes following the death of the caliph Uthman. The village belongs to a landscape shaped by the Nile and its irrigation channels.
