The most important landmark in Rahmaniya is the Arab World tomb of Ali Bin Nafees, the discoverer of blood circulation. There is also a small companion tomb of Muhammad Bin Adi Ibn Hatim Al-Tai and his sword and cloak.

After the arrival of the French Campaign to the west of the city of Alexandria on 6th July 1798, the French soldiers marched to the city and occupied it on that day. Then Napoleon sailed to Cairo via Damanhur, where he was able to occupy the city of Rasheed on 6th July and arrived in Rahmaniya, a village on the Nile. The Battle of Rahmaniya was a very important one because it was the first battle that the Mamluk army fought against the French, who defeated them.
