General Egyptian Warehouses Reviews

The concrete barriers that they installed suppress the air very much
And crowding and thugs Ali and Denna
A bride and groom every two minutes

An architectural masterpiece. But only one employee for tickets is unacceptable in an exciting place

Qaitbay Citadel, Dora of Mamluk Architecture, Alexandria
---------------------------------------------
Towards the west from Alexandria and on the coast of the White Sea and on the eastern side of the island of Pharos at the mouth of the eastern port, Qaytbay Castle is located tall since the fifteenth century, and it is one of the most important features of the bride of the Mediterranean, which is the jewel of Mamluk architecture in Alexandria, and the most important castles of Egypt The navy on the White Sea and one of the most important defense strongholds on the Egyptian coast in the Mameluke era.

In 1477, the Mamluk Sultan, King Ashraf Seif al-Din Qaytbay al-Dhahiri, ordered the construction of the Qaytbay Castle on the ruins of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, "Pharos" which was one of the Seven Wonders of the World and collapsed in the year 700 AD. The costs of building this tower exceeded one hundred thousand dinars.

As for the components of the castle, it was built on an area of 17550 square meters surrounded by the sea on three sides. The castle surrounds the walls and the main tower in the northwestern side. The walls are also divided into internal and external walls, while the inner wall includes soldiers barracks and armories, while the outer wall of the castle includes On the four sides, defensive towers rise to the level of the fence as the background of the wall, which contains defensive holes for soldiers. The castle continued to work for the rest of the Mamluk period and the Ottoman period after them.

During the days of the French campaign against Egypt led by Napoleon Bonaparte, the French seized the castle, then the entire city of Alexandria, until the French left, and the castle regained its position, so when Muhammad Ali Pasha assumed the rule he worked to fortify Egypt in particular its northern coasts, so he renewed the walls of the castle and some some The works to match the defensive development of the nineteenth century AD were to strengthen its walls and renovate its buildings, and provide it with coastal cannons, and this is also to build many floats and forts that spread along the northern coast of Egypt.

Until the British bombing of Alexandria came in 1882, when the castle was destroyed and its walls formed as a result of the artillery shelling. The castle withdrew from the limelight and became important until the twentieth century when several attempts were made to restore it as a tourist monument, and it was opened to the public.

The location is more than amazing, but the place needs attention from the country

This place is an ancient site. But I think they should work on the workers and the services more.

Good location on the sea , huge buildings and magnificence of architecture.

Very beautiful but there is some exploitation of staff Baiqrbwa you to explain the castle parameters for the purpose of Astglalk and get to double the money but do not deal with them and enjoy the sights and historical

Excellent place for expanse and knowledge of the country's monuments

A great Egyptian relic place
Of the effects of the Mamluk era
Alexandria Governorate
And is one of the most important features

Peace out y'all with love to the people of Alexandria memories never dies *****

Great place, old, strong, nice location and nice view, but there's nothing very interesting inside. Beautiful building

Lack of order and lack of interest in the place despite the beauty of the place in terms of architectural and archaeological and beauty of the sea

One of the most beautiful features of Alexandria, especially the Aquarium

An architectural masterpiece that shows how strong and powerful we were and progressed in architecture and construction

A great place for amateur photography and archeology shows the progress and prosperity of the Egyptians

The most wonderful place and the most beautiful pictures of memories and the best places to sit with loved ones

Bahri and Bahwa Bahri and beauty of the castle and the beautiful and elegant photographs of the memorial Htazorha there lighting the place Kharavih and castle as the effects and location on the sea a place really loves

Qal'ah unique and embraces the Mediterranean Sea view steals minds

Qaitbay Castle is rich from the male of course a historical place and the island of Pharos to the place was a lighthouse of Alexandria in the past, I mean, if you love to sit alone and show the sea and Kda Trouh Hanak p along

Ancient building to protect the coast. Good place to see

A sweet and strong place to feel you are a pawn in Alexandria

It was the sweetest place I have but my million loss Baz because of the government and God knows

He might have been interested in her more than this

Must visit at Alexandria... Amazing view of the Mediterranean

Nice place just small details will make it perfect . Also can you extend hour of opening till evening

This is place is one the Alexandria places you must come to visit! Is it breathtaking and you can enjoy and relax looking to the see and the Citadela too. There is a fish museum to visit for 10 EGP but is not worthy. Much better to enter in Citadela itself.

The Citadel of Qaitbay is a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean sea coast, in Alexandria, Egypt. It was established in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay. The Citadel is situated on the eastern side of the northern tip of Pharos Island at the mouth of the Eastern Harbour.

The place is wonderful, architectural and historical in itself

It has a great historical place, great architecture, and the air and sea are very beautiful

Excepcional site. Historical but well conserved. Easy access. But the locals guards always expulses the people from there, before the official hour to close.

It is a beautiful and enriching place that needs a bit of cleanliness in the sea

Underrated attraction with foreigners. Massive castle structure with loads to explore, entry price was very cheap however I wouldnt reccomend the fish museum

The division of the place in a social class unsatisfactory where there is no place I can enjoy with my family without intrusive tenants place in terms of insisting on sitting on chairs that fill the place and there is no place to enjoy any kind of privacy and rent horses, etc. Please return the place where it was where we were enjoying Actually visit the castle and do not ant spend time out

The place is beautiful and historical, it tells a period of time important in the history of Egypt, the place needs some attention and lacks some historical information for this place

Unique place with a wonderful view. It is possible to visit it also inside. I suggest you to go there to see the sunset from a particular point of Alexandria.

Lovely mosque and place to spend a very good weekend with perfect views

A magnificent castle and next to it the exhibition of marine life at the top of magnificence

It's nice a lot of history but it's very dirty and sloppy it's a shame !!

Beautiful place, and have a lot of spot to take great picture

Beautiful place to visit, once in the daylight and another one at night. Both are wonderful. Take a cruise late afternoon would be fantastic.

Of the places that I love had when going to Alexandria and fans of photography is a good place to take pictures wonderful

Great history, great atmosphere and wonderful location of the castle enter and really feel the past
