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.
