Embark on a captivating journey with a NASCO Tours representative from your hotel in Alexandria.

It was discovered in 1799 by French soldiers near the town of Rosetta (modern-day Rashid) in the Nile Delta, Egypt. This discovery played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of ancient Egyptian language and culture.
