It's a beautiful artifact with an exceptional view of the sea, surrounded by local and traditional cafes, restaurants and activities. Sunset ride in a tiny boat, called a flouka, can be rented and you can tour all Alexandria by sea! An experience you should not miss!

Citadel of Qaitbay The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria is not only one of the most significant defensive fortifications in Egypt, but also around the Mediterranean Sea coast. It was built in the 15th century AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Sayf al-Din Qa'it Bay to defend Alexandria from the Ottoman Empire and other potential invaders. The citadel's strategic location at the entrance to the eastern harbor made it an important military stronghold. Alexandria's Lighthouse The Citadel of Qaitbay was built on the exact location of the famed Alexandria Lighthouse, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The lighthouse was constructed during the Ptolemaic dynasty in the 3rd century BC and stood at an estimated height of 100-135 meters. It was a beacon for sailors and a symbol of the city's wealth and power. The lighthouse remained operational until the 14th century AD when it was damaged by earthquakes and storms. After the Arab invasion, the lighthouse's stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay. Restoration of the lighthouse began in the early 20th century, and visitors can now see some of the surviving remains of this ancient wonder.
