I just love visiting Alexandria in winter. Qaitbay Citadel is a must to see if this is your first time to the city. I loved being there with my friends. But it is really sad that there are not enough boards to tell the story of this historical place. I would say that the price doesn't match the place ambience, too expensive to pay that amount for a single ticket for a place shamefully neglected. Still the Citadel is a must to see.

I Love it
Beautiful place

Absolutely to go and visit this fort which replaces The Ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria there are numerous rooms where the Mamelukes sultans lived here in this castle built between 1477 and 1480. excellent experience also at the museum of the Institute of Marine Biology where are collected some findings from both the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, in particular the thing that struck me was a siren that is not as you think that in Greek mythology the siren was identified as a woman with a fish tail, instead the siren if you go to see in this museum you will discover that it is really a fish.

Piece of history, imagining that some people lived in there and used it to guide ships or protect the city from invaders made me excited.

This castle is located at the end of Pharos Island, in the far west of Alexandria. It was constructed in the place of the old Manar of Alexandria, which was destroyed in the year 702 AH following the devastating earthquake that occurred during the reign of Sultan Al-Nasir Muhammad bin Qalawun.
Sultan al-Ashraf Abu al-Nasr Qaytbay started building this castle in the year 882 AH and finished building it in 884 AH. The reason for his interest in Alexandria was the large number of direct threats to Egypt by the Ottoman Empire, which threatened the entire Arab region, and the Mamluk Sultan Qansuh al-Ghouri took care of the castle, increasing its importance and shipping it with weapons.

Qaitbay Citadel This fortress was established by Sultan Al-Ashraf Al-Ashraf Abu Al-Nasr Qaitbay Al-Mahmoudi in the year 882 AH / 1477 AD, the place of the ancient Manaret of Alexandria at the eastern end of the island of Pharos in the end of the Mamluk state. It has a square shape, the second is octagonal, and the third is circular. The ribs of bronze m The words very nicely with a smooth surface very working women's work and hanging underneath a stove fire and reflect the light emitted from the fire across about 20 kilometers in the water to be guided by the coming of Alexandria ships, and the thickness of walls 4.5 meters.

Qaitbay Castle in Alexandria, one of the largest and oldest castles of Egypt, surviving from the Mamluk era so far, is located in the northern side of the city of Rashid at a distance of 7 kilometers, and the Governor of Alexandria, Dr. Mohamed Sultan, in cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Antiquities, to complete the project to develop Qaitbay Castle The final finishing of the electricity rooms, which cost up to 80 thousand pounds, which promised the governor to allocate the amount from the province and address the company entrusted to the project "Arab Contractors" for the speedy completion.

A beautiful family place. You can board the boat, the journey takes 45 minutes, or you can enter the castle an ancient place and go out and sit on the sea. Children can ride a bike, and they can shop antiques and gifts.

The place is fantastic but the thing to Mahlo is the hawkers around the place

A wonderful place that gives us an unrivaled view of Alexandria

Nice place and on the sea. Entry is 20 but annoying people who insist on boarding their boat.

Fragrant history and authenticity and the spirit of the present and contemporary

Historical citadel from mamelok era in same place of old lighthouse of alexandria

A good castle, formerly known as the Alexander Lighthouse, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

A really nice place to check out.
On the coast directly.
Can take up to 2 hrs as it is a huge place.
U can see inside the old ways of defences vs invadors, the kings room, the merchand rooms, the execution room etc...

However be careful members of the police will tag along explaining things to u like a guide and in the end expect a payment. Even if you did not ask them to guide you.

Alexandria is the most beautiful place in the world

A place of great beauty and an embodiment of Egyptian history

This is the international symbol of Alexandria Egypt must visit if you are in Alexandria very interesting.

One of the most wonderful landmarks in the history of Alexandria
