Rosetta is considered as a large open-air museum for Islamic architecture. The great number ofIslamic monuments found here does not exist in any other city, except for Cairo.

Unfortunately most of these unique monuments are neglected, modern buildings surround them, and the unplanned urbanization also affects them badly, causing much damage. Therefore it is necessary for a great national effort to be made to save them, in order to revive the historical character of the city.

At the end of the tour transfer you back to your hotel in Alexandria.
