Small coty very authentique place but very intresting visit
So small, has a beautiful mosque inside,
Nothing to see except a small stone similar to the famous rosetta stone. The bathroom is disgusting. The surrounding area not tourist friendly and filled with rubbish. However, people were nice

A nice historic place but needs more care and attention
Unfortunately it is dirty, the upper floor is closed, you have to call someone to open the door for you. However the tour guide girl was kind, we initially just asked her to open the upstairs door but she guided us and explained the history.
It is one of the most beautiful cities I have visited in my entire life
A very excellent city

Historic citadel from the Islamic age, and the french used it when they conquered Egypt as a defence unit against the English fleet from the Mediterranean Sea. It ia built with stones taken from a pharaonic temple as this area doesn't have stones due to muddy land from the Nile river. Rashed is also known by the manufacture of red cuboid rocks made from mud.
