The place of the masterpiece is very hard and wonderful
Love it, beatifull historical spot wz special sea view
I visited it twice in a row because it is a very beautiful place overlooking the sea to feel calm and natural beauty
It needs a lot of attention from the tourism authorities
The unavailability of guiding boards to educate visitors about the castle's different sections ...
We ask for more attention and provide places for visitors to relax and clean toilets.
Lack of control over parking, where he is controlled by a farce of politics.
A beautiful and famous place, which is one of the best places in Alexandria. There is a parking place for cars, easy and easy entry, and the amount does not exceed 20 pounds per person.
Nothing really note worthy to see inside besides the history. Nice taking pictures outside.
Fragrant Egyptian history in the castle with the sea
I used to love the place , but now they closed everything, a lot of construction is happening , u can't enjoy it anymore

It's a majestic defensive fort built on the Mediterranean sea side in 15th century. On the ground floor it has been converted in to maritime museum and the other two floors are forts to have a splendid view of the sea. It has an entrance fees of 60EGP per person and had good parking place. The day we visited this place it was very crowded due to holidays. Nevertheless the place is very beautiful and one of the must see things in Egypt.
The place is beautifully antique but crowded on holidays

The landscape of Alexandria and the beauty of its sea
Awesome old architecture citadel

Frankly, a wonderful archaeological heritage and I hope it will remain as it is
What is not reasonable, I mean, will they take off the walls and flee them in a container in Egypt?
A distinguished historical place that has prestige, majesty and a sense of the greatness of that era in the history of Egypt and has fictional views due to its direct position on the sea and its magnificent views of Alexandria
So sad because of Covid 19 Aquarium Museum was closed. So sad because the sea in front of the Citadel has turned out to be a lake due to the big mass of stones over the sea. Citadel is still telling the history.
The effects of our country need to give up one rejoice hard

Qaitbay Castle, a famous castle in Alexandria, is one of the landmarks of Egypt in general. It was ordered by Sultan Qaitbay during the time of his historic visit to Alexandria in the summer of 1477, and he built it for about two years and was visited by Sultan Qaitbai in 1479 after the building of Khalas.
Sultan Qaitbai was one of the greatest sultans of the Mamluk state and the Mamluk state in general ruled Egypt for 28 years from 1468 to 1496.
It is a beautiful place and heritage and close to specialized fish restaurants, but be aware you buy from corals and anemones because they are forbidden. Of the country
This castle is located at the end of the island of Pharos in the far west of Alexandria, and was built in the place of the ancient lighthouse of Alexandria, which was destroyed in 702 e following 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 Built in 884 AH.
Amazing seafood !!!
I'm in the sea !!!
Traditional landmark of Alexandria highly recommend visiting if you are a tourist but be careful of the people offering tours with the horse carriages as they will give you a high price if you are a tourist a reasonable price range would be from 100 to 150 pounds (for a tour) but if it's only to walk you around on the horse for 10 minutes then only spend 20 to 50 pounds on that otherwise the citadel is a great place for taking pictures and has such an amazing atmosphere the price for an adult ticket i think is 20 pounds don't let them rip you off and yeah enjoy Alexandria
Historical place citadel on the sea to protect alexandria in the middle ages
