I had a schengen visa that was expired last April but I extended my residence and now I got a german residence card until next April (I am a student in Germany at the moment)

My question is, if I travel to my home country to see my family and I would like to travel from Egypt directly to Romania, will the German residence suffice?

My reason for traveling to Romania is because my long distance partner lives there with her family so I am just going there to spend the time with them, what could I do regardless of my German residence to gain the right to travel to Romania? What kind of "invitation" would I have to consider?

Thank you very much!
