Great excursion.
It was great trip to see the town of Radshead/Risetta. We got to visit the site where “Rosetta Stone” was discovered. Received a grand tour at the citadel of Quaibey. The tour guide and the driver showed us the town where we were met with friendly faces. Enjoyed the spectacular view where the Nile river and the Mediterranean Sea meet. Ended the tour with a lunch with delicious fish and a beautiful beach view.
