General Egyptian Warehouses Reviews

Great location.
A construction of national interest and protection of the city as opposed to other pharaonic constructions that were only for their person and their sick mind.

Good place but a lot of annoying people try to sell thinks and dirty

Beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea but around there is garbage

A wonderful and beautiful place to go to Alexandria. You must go there to enjoy the beautiful archaeological sites

Lovely Fortress with stunning views of Alexandria. Worth a visit

Very fun place especially especially water trips Balanch were magnificence

The place is nice, but the problem is the breakwaters there and the thugs on the beach throw people out

The view is wonderful ... The atmosphere there is very very nice and I was very pleased with the place

The place is enriched and has a special view on the sea is very fun

Beautiful and important landmark to see. Don't expect much on the inside tho.

Meh...maybe if its on your way home give it a look other rhan that its not worth travelling for it

A beautiful place and a long history of the problem is not interested in the castle and there are no spilling beams

Incredible history, wonderful views of the city and the sea...

Visiting the Citadel was a fine experience. At the entrance there is a sign that the Citadel was established in 882AH -1477AD. The building was a defence fortress and also houses the second oldest mosque in Alexandria. This mosque occupies more than half of the first floor area.

The Fort offers a great panaromic view of the Mediterranean Sea.

The visit time recommended here is about two hours. the Citadel has three floors. Exercise caution when climbing the stairs.

It s a very beautiful citadel. You have access to pretty much every corner of it. The view is stunning. It s a must see if you re in Alexandria, even for a day trip.
From there you d have a beautiful view of the sea, the corniche and part of the city.
If you re by the downtown area or at the corniche, you can walk to the citadel. There is a fee for the entrance, but it s definitely worth it.

Wow great place, but I was afraid of the ladder, but the important place is wonderful

Wonderful historical place to visit at morning. You can even visit it at night and enjoy the weather and the sound of the waves hitting the rocks while watching the citadel shining at night in yellow colours.
Drinking some tea or eating grilled corn will be a good idea.
Nearby the citadel, there is an aquarium and museums.

A pleasant visit, I recommend trying it and entering the Marine Biology Museum

If you want to visit the interior, check the schedules well, in the afternoon it is usually closed. In the surroundings you can walk freely at any time and enjoy the scenery.

A place more than beautiful is worth visiting with your friends

I wish all those responsible for the archaeological and historical sites in Egypt from the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities to preserve the antiquities of Egypt and to look at the cafes in place in Qataybay and what is reflected in the beautiful history of our country

One of the most beautiful places I have visited in my life

Of course, I don't need to talk about the location of the castle, the walkway, and the gathering of people, which is nice

It was built in the place of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, which was destroyed in 702 AH as a result of the devastating earthquake that took place during the reign of Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun. Sultan al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasr Qaitbay started building this castle in 882 AH and completed its construction in 884 AH.
That is why he was named after him.
The Mamluk Sultan Qansoh al-Ghuri took care of the castle, increasing its importance and shipping it with weapons.

The place is very beautiful and no one disputes it
But there is an occupation of the sidewalk by shopkeepers
And some galley sellers are not this usual form as it was before, and unfortunately for the prolonged one

Very nice place and great for family or couple or single i advice everyone to visit and injoy the experience and the services ther you can share also to your friends to try hope to visit again and i will try to share some of my photos and my videos for my visit and hope to see you soon

No renewals to citadel and thieves and phunders everywhere

Need a lot of development to be ready recive vistors

It's historical place but the government doesn't take care of it

A sophisticated tourist place on the Mediterranean coast in the city of Alexandria, the castle is located in the sea area

The place is very beautiful spirit and you will not regret it

A very important impact historically, geographically, engineering and design, as his presence in a country of brilliance, such as Alexandria, increases its value and elegance, but as usual it lacks the appropriate attention to it from its first appearance from the main street, passing through marine neighborhoods, the process of organizing entry and the individuals responsible for the system, as well as the cleanliness of Nakhiyya which and the tools
There must be ideas to maintain its development, increase its luster, attractiveness, preserve it, and view it from land and sea.
I think it can be made unique and a global destination of its own

Nice place. There are 2 interesting scenes. The fortress directly opposite the Mediterranean Sea.

Beautiful, quiet, historic, the smell of the sea, the fresh air ! Such an amazing place to spend your time in

Zoroha before changing the features of the development work side

Wonderful already beautiful place only requires careful when the rise of peace to avoid any fall, very suitable for taking excellent pictures

I loved this place
More than wonderfully outspoken
