"Rosetta, Arabic Rashīd, town, northern Al-Buhayrah governorate, in
the northwestern Nile River delta, Lower Egypt. It lies on the left bank
of the Rosetta Branch of the Nile River, with multiple vistas, southeast
of its entrance into the Mediterranean and northeast of Alexandria.
Rosetta is the third most important port city in Egypt. Rosetta still
maintains a coastal trading function and has rice milling and fishing
industries. It has highway and rail links with Alexandria and Damanhūr."
