Tour to The Qaitbay Citadel in Alexandria

On l a voit de loin depuis la corniche. Construite sur l ancien phare elle domine superbement. Construite en 1477 elle fut une place importante de la ville. Tres agreable visite sur plusieurs niveaux donnant de jolis points de vue sur la ville. La terrasse est tout aussi sympa. A voir absolument.

Incredible views from this mosque/fort; a few floors (steep, uneven, stone steps) offer a maze of small rooms, hallways with small windows, a couple of nice marble floor designs. No formal tours.

No guidance. Well kept fortress. Tickets only by credit card. Nice place to take photos. Best time to visit at sunset. Surrounding area is mainly a parking lot.

Historic fortress located in Mediterranean sea built in 1477AD to protect city. It is one of amazing attractions places in Alex
