Alexandria Excursions

A fascinating insight into the location where the ‘Rosetta Stone’ was discovered, and to this day, is still a mystery as to how it got there. A small City known as ‘Rashid’ in the north of Egypt and at the mouth which connects the tip of the River Nile to the Mediterranean Sea, this gentile City holds an abundance of fascinating unique buildings known as the 17th century Rosetta’s Ottoman Houses with their traditional locally made red and black brick exteriors with the style reminiscent of the Tudor period and overhanging upper storeys. This day tour from Alexandria is a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of City life.
