General Egyptian Warehouses Reviews

It's very nice place to family and friends to have a good time

Alexandria is the most beautiful city, a place of civilization and tourism

One of the nicest places you can visit in Alexandria

Castle built by the Mamelukes, the elite of the Sultan's army, bought as children and raised to be warriors. With the death of a sultan a Mameluke married Sultana, and from then on, the Mamelukes remained in power, until they were defeated by the Ottoman army.

A beautiful place to visit and learn more about Egypt

Historical place.. nothing special . You'll be tired visiting it :) anyways kids like the place

Nice pleace to walk around nice location for pictures

The place is a masterpiece, the atmosphere is beautiful and the pictures there are amazing

A beautiful castle from outside but inside it smells urine. And you can't climb to the roof of it. So it's not a viewpoint either. I would recommend you not to enter it..But its one of the 3-4 things you can visit in Alexandria.

What can I say? 15 century Castel intact! Wonderful views, the sea fresh air, building architecture is fascinating!

I love that place, i just feel how great Egypt was, when the rest of the world was unfound on earth.

Because being strangled in spirit is not what I think

Magnificent citadel showing how glorious Egypt was in the Mamluks era. The citadel is well preserved only problem is maybe people throwing trash nearby this historic landmark. Has great views of the city and the nearby marina.
The ancient Citadel of Qaitbay is a testament to the greatness of Egypt in the Mamluk era, when it was a major player in global trade. It has many places where you can take beautiful pictures of the city and the same effect

Awesome place to visit for all ages as you discover the citadel.

Great place for family or friends and
I really enjoyed this

Very interesting and my kids loved it too... U can see the sea clearly from the roof and spend a lot of time on it.

Bey Citadel and the Lighthouse of Alexandria was the construction of the castle on the ruins of the Lighthouse of Alexandria and this is the only link between the two buildings, as the Lighthouse of Alexandria, which was located at the entrance to the port of the island of Pharos in the eastern side was one of the greatest buildings in the past, but suffered numerous disasters and lost a lot of parts until the fifteenth century, where a severe earthquake destroyed the entire castle was built Qaitbai ruins ... this castle was built on an area of approximately 18,000 thousand square meters, since the outer perimeter fence with a large average thickness of approximately two meters and the average height of up Up to 8 meters. This fence that surrounds the castle contains several observation and defense towers distributed on all sides, and there is also a side of the fence contains rooms and windows for ventilation and defense as well. The area between the outer wall and the castle was used to accommodate the soldiers and their equipment. The castle is divided into three main floors, the first of which is a mosque and corridors for soldiers used during the defense of the castle, while the second floor contains rooms and halls used by those in charge of the castle. Finally, the third floor consists of a large hall where the Sultan's Council uses it during his visit to the city. The third floor also contains a grain mill and a bakery to provide soldiers with supplies. Bey Citadel through history since the establishment of the castle is used as a fortress to defend the city of Alexandria coming from the sea armies, have been used by all the kings who passed on the rule of Egypt until the English invasion in the nineteenth century, where the attack on the castle dramatically exposed many of the cracks, in This period was marginalized and was not used until the beginning of the twentieth century when the Egyptian government initiated the restoration and make it an archaeological symbol of the city.
Adjacent to the castle is the Aquarium and Yacht Club
For those looking for a beautiful day, sit for a few minutes next to the castle on the Mediterranean Corniche with a glass of Azza gelatha and inhale iodine Welcome to Alexandria

I loved it. One of the best locations to take pictures of Alexandria. Very impressive fortress and in a very good condition.

More than a wonderful historical place, with stunning views of boats, ships, port and the shore of the Mediterranean ...
There are many restaurants and cafes near it.
There are nearby Egyptian antiquities and cultural sellers with cheap prices and medium quality ...
I do not recommend visiting during holidays and events, because there are too many crowds and people at the ticket outlet, especially at the beginning of winter
Ticket price is reasonable

A beautiful view and a site that is built where once was the Lighthouse of Alexandria

A place where comfort, beauty and tradition is very beautiful

It's very nice place, but now there's some civil work in the place so you can't see sea now from this place, I recommend not visit this place at night, you can only enjoy to visit Citadel itself during morning.

Spectacular view of the Mediterranean Sea, a beautiful place full of history.

Very nice but very busy and the corner is difficult there

A very beautiful place, it was a beautiful day, the castle is beautiful, and the deal is beautiful, but I wish to provide more security inside the castle

Everyone visiting Egypt really should add this to their list of places to see

The castle is very beautiful, but because of what people have done, the garbage and the place Mbqash add sincere and remained very much Btrav not walked stays remained pedigree great archaeological site

One of the most beautiful tourist and historical places ever

A first class historical site
But this place distorts the boatloads, the popular sessions, poor hygiene, and the Aquarium for which I paid an amount that is not worth ten percent of it. The place is devoid of so-called antiques, in all honesty, a center to seize money
The castle needs two visiting periods, morning and evening

Its nice to see historical places and live the moment.. But it needs to be more interesting

They have great information about Alexander the great. This location is said to be where the Library of Alexandria was. Cute shops to look at, without the hankering.

Qaitbay citadel not only a place to have fun in at daylight... ancient place from islamic era was used as a castle to defend enemies now it is monumental... and it s a cool place at night with wonderful sunset and a lake with small boats called flokas ... sellers among all of this selling food and drinks

Archaeological place in the governorate of Alexandria due to the Mamluk era is held by a lot of cultural activities

This picture three years ago when Qaitbay Castle was the same before it was embedded and turned into wreckage for vandalized investment projects for all that is beautiful and free

The adequacy of images speak and all outside the castle .. The castle is beautiful but the view from above the splendor of the desire

The Citadel is most impressive. It is much bigger than it looks and the construction reflects the engineering expertise of its time. The view from the battlements is worth the 60LE entrance fee alone. Unfortunately though it is not well maintained. There is graffiti on the walls and visitors are allowed to smoke inside the building which in itself is unpleasant for other visitors, but also means that there were many cigarette butts lying around both inside and outside. I was also disappointed that it closed at 16:00. Egyptians really need to step up and take more care of their historical heritage and not just treat it as a source of income.

Qaitbay citadel is the most important fort in Alexandria, so the rulers of Egypt cared about it throughout the ages.
It has a charming view on the Mediterranean Sea

Magnificent fortress.
Staff welcoming one of the few places steeped in history in Alexandria
Without forgetting a magnificent view of the sea and the city

Very nice
But hope they develop it further

A tourist attraction and a stunning historical monument

The eternal problem in any tourist place. The amount of people who offer you excuses for sale, trips, or begging.

It's a very good place but it need some attention from the government.. no chairs no baskets for trash

I love that place for its tranquility and the wonderful sea and the fragrant history

This 15th century citadel is constructed from the rubble of the famous lighthouse of Alexandria which was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. If you arrive before the peak tourist influx you can enjoy the relatively empty place. The upper level offers stunning views of the Alexandria coastline.

An antique building open to those who like to photograph old buildings

Historical place on the sea Beautiful flawed congestion and popular exhibits and exposure to tourists offer busy services at school holidays

One of the most beautiful monuments in Alexandria is a wonderful layout that suggests war

An amazing citadel built by sultan his name is Qaitbay and purpose of it to defend egypt from enemies coming from the Mediterranean Sea

The Fort of Qaitbay, also known as the Citadel of Qaitbay, is a 15th century defensive fort located in Alexandria, Egypt. The Fort is located in the eastern part of the island of Faro in the port of Alexandria. It was erected in 1477 by the Circassian Mamluk Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay, in the same place where the ruined lighthouse of Alexandria was located. He fortified the site as part of his coastal defensive project against the Ottoman Empire, which threatened Egypt during that time. He built the fortress and located a mosque inside it.
