Rosetta branch of the Nile
The river runs along the city's eastern edge as a broad band of water. The entire town is oriented toward it, with streets running back from the bank.

The map
About this Rosetta map poster
Rosetta, known in Arabic as Rashid, stands on the western bank of the Rosetta branch of the Nile, a few kilometres upstream from where the river enters the Mediterranean. On the map, the city is a long settlement pressed against the water, its streets running back from the riverbank into a dense old core, with palm groves and fields spreading across the delta beyond.
The old town keeps a tight, irregular street pattern, and many Ottoman-era brick houses survive along its lanes, making Rosetta one of the best places in Egypt to see domestic architecture of that period. Toward the north, the river widens and bends toward the coast, and the Mediterranean shoreline gives the edge of the map a long, gentle curve.
In 1799, French soldiers found the Rosetta Stone near the town, a decree carved in three scripts that became the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. The stone is now in London, but the name remains with the place. A Rosetta map poster sets the river, the old quarter and the delta fields in a composition shaped by water on two sides.

Ottoman old quarter
The historic centre is a dense web of narrow lanes lined with old brick houses. At poster scale it appears as a fine, irregular pattern distinct from later districts.
Nile mouth
North of the city, the river widens and meets the Mediterranean. The meeting of river and sea gives the top of the map a natural, open conclusion.

Why Rosetta
A map that means something
Rosetta will mean a great deal to people from Beheira, to those with family in the delta and to anyone fascinated by the stone that unlocked the writing of ancient Egypt. The river-and-sea setting makes a quiet, spacious print.
Personalise the title, perhaps with the Arabic name Rashid, and add a subtitle and coordinates. Choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand. The $9 HD files include a 300 DPI PNG and a print-ready PDF for each of six sizes, with no watermark.
