Amazing visit to smaller welcoming town an hour's journey from Alexandria. Guide and driver were friendly and informative. Highlights included welcoming visit to small local Mosque - very different from usual experiences- followed by a private viewing of fantasticlly restored houses with the Director of Local Antiquities as guide. To finish we were taken on a private relaxing cruise on the Nile.
I really liked to see the rural and town life in Rosetta. The Osman house was very interesting. Marwa also drove us to the point where the Nile meets the Mediterranean. The boat ride on the Nile was really cool. Marwa was very kind and knowledgeable.
