No other nation in the world says ‘Welcome’ as often as the Egyptians, and every time, they mean it. While the ancient civilization of Egypt continues to amaze, contemporary Egyptians are equally remarkable.
Wandering Through
Navigating the Time-Honored Streets of Rosetta (Rasheed)
Journeying to Rosetta, an enchanting town steeped in history, presents a delightful array of options for the discerning traveler. Whether you’re departing from the coastal charm of Alexandria or elsewhere, reaching and exploring Rasheed can be a smooth and enjoyable part of your Egyptian adventure.
Private Car and Driver: A Touch of Luxury
For those seeking comfort and personalization, arranging a private car and driver is an excellent choice. This option not only offers the luxury of privacy and convenience but also allows for a personalized itinerary, enabling you to explore Rosetta at your own pace. The cost for this service, including return fare and waiting time, ranges between E£350 to E£450. This mode of transport is ideal for travelers who value ease and flexibility, and who wish to immerse themselves in the journey as much as the destination.
Hiring a Taxi: Efficient and Direct
A more direct yet equally efficient option is to hire a taxi. This choice blends convenience with the opportunity to engage with local drivers, often a source of insightful stories and tips about the area. The fare for a return taxi journey, inclusive of waiting time, typically falls within the E£350 to E£450 range, offering a balance between cost and comfort.
Microbus: The Economical Adventure
For the budget-conscious or those seeking an authentic local experience, taking a microbus is a practical and economical option. Departing from the Al-Mo’af al-Gedid bus station in Alexandria, the microbus ride to Rosetta is not only wallet-friendly at around E£65 but also an opportunity to travel as the locals do. This one-hour journey allows travelers to witness the everyday ebb and flow of Egyptian life, adding an extra layer of cultural immersion to your trip.
