During my trip to Alexandria, I visited the Qaitbay Citadel, one of the city’s most beautiful seaside landmarks. The fortress sits right on the Mediterranean Sea, built on the historic site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria.
Inside, the tour takes you through stone corridors, old rooms, and defensive towers that reflect the citadel’s 15th-century design. The highlight is reaching the upper terrace, where you get stunning views of the sea and the waves crashing below.
Overall, the Qaitbay Citadel is a peaceful and scenic spot, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy history, architecture, and amazing coastal views during their trip to Alexandria.
