Rosetta Day Trip from Alexandria | Historic Rashid Tour & River Nile

Start with a visit to the Alexandria Greco-Roman Museum, home to an impressive collection of antiquities from the Hellenistic and Roman periods. Continue to the modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina—one of the largest cultural centers in the world—and Saint Mark's Coptic Church, the oldest church in Africa. Take a walking tour through the historic streets of Old Alexandria, view the exterior of the Abu Al-Abbas Al-Mursi Mosque and the 15th-century Citadel of Qaitbay, and venture to historic Rosetta (Rashid) before returning comfortably to your hotel.

Tour Itinerary & Details

Your Ramasside tour guide will be waiting for your arrival holding a sign with the Ramasside logo—no need to look around, as they will readily meet and greet you.

From the moment the tour begins, your guide is entirely dedicated to your experience. Once settled in the vehicle, they will discuss key sights along the route and provide historical context for the day’s itinerary.

Drive approximately 60 kilometers north-east from Alexandria to Rosetta (Rashid) to experience the authentic, serene local way of life.

Upon arrival, board a private motorboat on the River Nile to witness the rare meeting point where the Nile meets the Mediterranean Sea. Visit Fort Qaitbay (Fort Julien), the historic fort where the world-renowned Rosetta Stone was unearthed in 1799 during the French campaign in Egypt.

Continue your journey exploring Rosetta’s remarkable collection of Ottoman-era Islamic mansions and architecture. Your return to Alexandria will be seamless and comfortable.
