Itinerary
Rosetta Day Tour From Alexandria
You will be collected from your Hotel, our Sun Pyramids Tours expert English-speaking Tour Guide and transferred in an air-conditioned modern vehicle (including bottled water) and driven for about 1 hour by road from Alexandria to the City of Rosetta, now known as Rashid.
On arrival, you will be taken to the Rashid Museum, which is one of the original uniquely styled red and black brick houses within the City’s small winding streets. A complete tour of the Museum with your Guide to discover a replica of the Rosetta Stone inscribed in 3 languages: Ancient Pharaonic, Demotic, and Ancient Greek (the original is currently on display in the British Museum). From here, we will take a walking tour around the small local streets and Souq to discover the local life and markets selling their fresh produce of bread, fruit and vegetables, fish, and meats while heading to the preserved Ottoman Homes.
Moving on, discover a second house within the City’s streets and other old house frontages. The House of Amasyali is very ornate and considered one of the finer examples.
A further visit to the Mill of Abu Shaheen will uncover a house for trade serving the household and the local community.
After your tour of the Houses, you will walk a short distance with your Guide to visit the local ‘Hanging Mosque,’ a unique construction and is one of only a few Mosques in Egypt built on an upper level in order to have storage units underneath for shops and supplies.
Finally, you will take a short drive to the Citadel on the outskirts of the City. It was built around 1479 and lies next to the Nile River with views of the Mediterranean Sea. Known as Qaitbey, it was built as a defense mechanism to guard against attacks by invaders from the Mediterranean. Take some time to climb to the top of the Citadel along the fortified walls to see the lovely views of where the Nile meets the Mediterranean.
You will then leave the Citadel and head back towards Alexandria with a stop off for lunch and time to relax before returning to your Hotel in Alexandria.
