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.[3]
