Excellent place to visit when you are at Alexandria..
Beautiful and rich memoir of the past kingdom.
It was built in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay.... Fortified the place as part of his coastal defensive edifices against the Turks, who were threatening Egypt at that time.
Excellent fort to visit, especially be noted is.. it has been converted into a Maritime Museum.

The pictures are sweet, but they are not as sweet as a visit. You feel that they are all similar and luxurious

its an amazing place where you can see all of Alexandria .. love it

Those who sell the pavement of the misfortune of what you imagine how it is in a tourist area

An excellent historical place that has stood for more than 600 years. The air is a gelato masterpiece, with indescribable glory

Historical place, nice nature day and night, buy samples decoration memories , aquarium museum

A very good place to visualize, visit, take a walk, spend a good time in front of the sea, visit the fish museum and listen to the beauty of Al Maamari castle, but I know that all the castle rooms are empty and are no longer like before and all its contents have been transferred to. The Grand Egyptian Museum, so we recommend visiting the castle to see the beauty of the architectural and archaeological beauty

It is a family tourist service place heritage
It means complex

An impressive antique castle in its architecture is impressive in its design

The ticket price of 20 Egyptian pounds for non-student price .. I think sums it.

Situated on Pharos island, at the eastern harbour of Alexandria, the citadel was built between 1477-1479 by the Circassian Sultan Al-Nasr Sayf ad-Din al-Ashraf Qa'it bay, the eighteenth Burji Mamluk Sultan of Egypt. One of several building projects sponsored by him, it stands on the exact spot were the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria used to be. Renovated by Mohammad Ali Pasha in 1805 and restored in 1984 it is a popular site for visitors and locals. There is a mosque, inside and a Maritime Museum.

The place is very picturesque, you can walk for a maximum of 15 minutes. Nothing interesting inside. There are many strange people around, looking like homeless people

A place that combines history and designers' allegiance in confronting and attacking enemies

The most beautiful pictures in my life in the most beautiful place in Alexandria

Instagram. Ahmed.malek to follow the rest of the photos

I had a short visit as part of a tour one evening. Great for the history but be prepared to be assailed by hawkers selling trickets for tourists. Some items sold are not bad and are good value. The citadel has an "aquarium" charging 10 Egyptian pound for entry. The aquarium does not host a living thing and is a strange display of empty tanks - skip it. But the citadel and location of the ancient lighthouse is worth a visit.

The treatment of free and people Nasaba and the need for flooding but the place is OK but unfortunately I did not get his right

If you are in Alexandria them it is a must go, I strongly advice of the visit along with a nice vipes around it , a long nice set on the sea in one of the adjacent cafes maybe a nice thing to do too

An interesting place
But from the inside some places are dark and smelly
From the outside the scenery is beautiful

A teacher from Alexandria should be visited .. The area has many activities and wonderful places nearby, such as: Greek Club (Restaurant Seafood) and minutes away Sheikh Wafik sells the best dish of rice with milk and gelato and nuts Sweets Katheer

One of the best military historical places I visited, you see the pride of Islam

The place is very beautiful. Btamki and sit on the rocks heart of the sea, but the castle of course dates of entry in the morning. But the bride who is going to imagine there. And the granule Bajdoa Aalskr. It is possible to ride a horse and take a walk. Delicious atmosphere means

Good place to hangout with partner at sea beach. However they should allow for longer hours!

It's really beautiful and the view of the sea is stunning

A strong fortress of wonderful design and architecture, and inside the museum of mummified aquariums

The view was amazing but the stairs were very long and not very child friendly

The fort has been restored but it is an authentic and ancient place from the Turkic era.
