01What the data says — and does not say
This page separates the checked GeoNames row for Al Maḩallah al Kubrá—592,573, Africa/Cairo, and source coordinates—from live travel claims. Those fields identify and compare the record; they do not prove current transport, accessibility, census totals, or a City Atlas Club visit.
02This city's dataset fingerprint
The source row behind Al Maḩallah al Kubrá is GeoNames ID 360829. Its recorded administrative path is Gharbia → Egypt, and GeoNames classifies the place as a populated place. Al Maḩallah al Kubrá occurs once as a primary city label in this atlas sample; the numeric ID remains the durable source key if names change. The city row itself was updated 2023-11-29; that date belongs to the source record, not to every transport or visitor detail in the real destination.

This pattern can reveal whether other catalog references are geographically close, but it cannot establish whether a border crossing is possible or practical, or whether rail, road, fare, or journey-time connections exist.

That combined key distinguishes the row; it is not a recommendation or evidence of a physical connection.
Al Maḩallah al Kubrá's reference point is 30.9706° north and 31.1669° east. The IANA identifier Africa/Cairo is shared by 12 city rows in this catalog, while the GeoNames class PPL is shared by 243 rows.

Al Maḩallah al Kubrá's point falls in the middle-latitude coordinate band used by this atlas's row checks. Al Maḩallah al Kubrá's time-zone field defines the narrower catalog cohort; its place class is shared more broadly.

Together these fields form a reproducible identity check for this page, not a claim about walkability, climate or accessibility.
