Why Choose the Rosetta Day Tour from Alexandria

During your visit, your Egyptologist guide will explain the remarkable story of how French soldiers discovered the stone near Fort Julien during Napoleon's Egyptian campaign.

Inscribed with the same text in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, Demotic script, and Greek, the Rosetta Stone eventually enabled scholars to understand the language of ancient Egypt after centuries of mystery.
