Rosetta Museum, Historic Streets and Qaitbay Citadel
Your tour guide will meet you at your hotel in Alexandria. You will travel by modern air-conditioned vehicle to Rosetta, which is considered a large open-air museum of Islamic architecture. The Islamic monuments in Rosetta do not exist in any other city in Egypt except Cairo, and the city is especially famous for architecture dating back to the 18th century. Visit the Rosetta Museum to explore historic information about the French invasion of Egypt, Napoleon's expedition, and the British campaign. After your visit to the Rosetta Museum, enjoy a walk along the famous street lined with houses dating back to the 18th century. Rosetta is one of the few remaining cities where houses of ancient Islamic architectural style still exist. Next, head to the Citadel of Qaitbay in Rosetta, where the famous Rosetta Stone was found. At the end of the tour, see the meeting point of the Nile and the sea, which is considered a very remarkable sight. When your Rosetta day tour is finished, begin your journey back to Alexandria.
