Beyond Egypt’s famous temples and pyramids lies one of its best-kept secrets. Discover Rosetta, where the Nile meets the Mediterranean, beautifully preserved Ottoman architecture lines the streets, and centuries of history blend seamlessly with everyday Egyptian life.

Your WOW TOURS EGYPT guide will be waiting for you inside Alexandria Port or outside the main gate, depending on port procedures, holding a sign with your name.

Travel comfortably from Alexandria to Rosetta (Rashid), where the world’s longest river finally reaches the Mediterranean Sea. As the scenery changes from the coastline to the fertile Nile Delta, you’ll discover an Egypt shaped by rivers, rich farmland, and centuries of timeless tradition.

Arriving in Rosetta, you’ll discover a town where time seems to slow down. Begin with a guided walking tour through its charming historic quarter, where beautifully preserved Ottoman houses, elegant wooden mashrabiyas, centuries-old mosques, and traditional Islamic monuments reflect a rich architectural heritage rarely found elsewhere in Egypt. As you wander its peaceful streets, you’ll experience the authentic rhythm of everyday life in a town that has preserved its character through the centuries.

Continue to the Rosetta National Museum, where carefully curated collections reveal the town’s remarkable past and its important role throughout the Ottoman and French periods. Here, you’ll uncover the fascinating story of the Rosetta Stone—the discovery that unlocked the mystery of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and forever transformed the study of ancient Egypt.

Your journey continues to the historic Fort of Qaitbay, standing proudly at the northern entrance of the Nile. Beyond its impressive military history, the fort marks the place where the Rosetta Stone was discovered in 1799, forever linking this quiet riverside town to one of archaeology’s greatest breakthroughs.

After enjoying a delicious lunch at a carefully selected local restaurant, it’s time to experience Rosetta from a different perspective.

Step aboard a traditional felucca and let the gentle current carry you along the tranquil waters of the Nile. Passing fishermen casting their nets, riverside homes, and lush green banks, you’ll witness the peaceful pace of Delta life that continues much as it has for generations.

Your sail continues toward the beautiful Island of Abu Mandour, a beloved local landmark surrounded by the quiet beauty of the Delta, before reaching one of Egypt’s most extraordinary natural spectacles—the point where the mighty River Nile finally meets the Mediterranean Sea. Standing where the world’s longest river completes its incredible journey is a rare and unforgettable experience, offering breathtaking views and a profound sense of place that few travelers have the opportunity to witness.
