Rosetta Day Tour From Alexandria

Embark on a captivating day tour to Rosetta (Rashid) from Alexandria, departing at 8:00 AM with a pickup directly from your hotel by an expert licensed guide. Located just 60 kilometers from Alexandria, Rosetta offers a unique look into Egyptian rural life, where timeless customs and simple traditions endure. During your tour, you will board a motorboat on the Nile to explore a local island and witness the stunning meeting point of the Nile River and the Mediterranean Sea. You will also visit Fort Julien (Qaitbay Citadel of Rosetta), the historic castle where the world-famous Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799. This grand trilingual granite stele provided the key that unlocked ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. Beyond its ancient roots, Rosetta serves as a remarkable open-air museum of Islamic architecture, boasting a concentration of historical Islamic monuments second only to Cairo. While modern urbanization poses a challenge to preserving these treasures, experiencing the city's rich heritage remains a unforgettable highlight. At the conclusion of your excursion, you will be comfortably transferred back to your hotel in Alexandria.
