Rosetta from Alexandria

Overview

Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative from your hotel in Alexandria. You will take a motorboat journey along the Nile River to visit an island where the Nile meets the Mediterranean Sea. There, you will explore the castle where the Rosetta Stone was discovered. The Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian granodiorite stele that features a decree issued in 196 BC. The decree is inscribed in three scripts: Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphic, making it a key artifact for deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers near the town of Rosetta (modern-day Rashid) in the Nile Delta, Egypt. This discovery played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of ancient Egyptian language and culture. Your adventure concludes with a return to your hotel, leaving you with the memories of Egypt's wonders.
