History
Historically, the town served the role of a departure point from Cairo to the desert. Khatatba is the site of the Monastery of Saint George or "Dair Mari Girgis." It provides the regional Coptic population as a center for retreats and religious meetings.
Before he was President of Egypt, Gamal Abdel Nasser resided in Khatatba between 1923-24. Khatatba was also the site of the British Army's 8th Armoured Brigade.
