There is not much there now. Rasheed's glory days, such as when it was Egypt's most important port, are gone, along with the Rosetta Stone itself. Britain, in its glorious campaign to rid the world of precious artifacts, ferried it away to London.
Here are some pictures:
This is my friend Joe watching a man make konafa. Konafa is a special dessert available only during Ramadan. That means I need to eat as much of it as possible in the next week. It's a tough duty but I think I'm up to the task.
And this just made me laugh:

Matt! Is Rosetta a place I should go or is it not worth it? ALSO I saw the pyramids and was underwhelmed. AND next weekend I'm going to Luxor!
what do they do with the giant konafa machine during the other 11 months?
Hi Matt! So do they have haleem in Egypt special for Ramadan too? Because I don't know about this konafa, but 5000 calorie spicy meat paste with cashews and olive oil kind of rocks my taste buds.
