Beni Muhammadiyat, 
Egypt
180,286 people lived in Beni Muhammadiyat in 2025. It is the 3348th largest of the world's 12,138 cities, and the 73rd largest in Egypt.
That figure counts the whole built-up area, not the area Beni Muhammadiyat governs, so it may be far from the number the city publishes about itself. How the UN measures a city.

How to read this: read it left to right, 1975 to 2050, one column every five years, the height being people. Hatching marks the projected years. Below, a strip of the UN's confidence: strong colour where the census maps are recent and detailed, pale where they are not, blank where the place was not counted as a city.

Where it is

Area and built-up land · km²
How much land it covers
In 2025, Beni Muhammadiyat covered 51 km², and buildings, roads and other built-up land covered 5.4 km² of it. That is 30 m² of built-up land for each person, about a square 5 by 5 metres. Since 2000, its built-up land has grown to 2 times its size, and its people have grown by 63%.
How to read this: each pale square is the city's whole area, the strong square inside it the part that is built on; one scale for all three, so a bigger square is more land. Hatched is the UN's projection.
Of every 100 people in Egypt
Its share of Egypt
Of every 1,000 people in Egypt in 2025, 2 lived in Beni Muhammadiyat, which is 180,286 people.
How to read this: shrink Egypt to 1,000 people and this is what you get. The coloured squares are the ones who would live in Beni Muhammadiyat; the grey ones are everybody else, in other cities, in towns and out in the country.

How to read this: names are in order of size, the leading number being each city's rank among all 12,138 in 2025; the bars share a scale within a list. A jump in the ranks means a city under 300,000 people, which is not given a page here.
Apparatus
Sources and method
The figures for Beni Muhammadiyat are the UN's own, at five-year steps: an estimate for each of 2000 to 2025, then projection to 2050. Projected years are drawn hatched, and the UN publishes no range of uncertainty for a city. What a city means here, how the UN measures one, and why that number can differ from the one Beni Muhammadiyat publishes about itself: how the figures here are put together.
