What to see Qaitbey’s Fort (also known as Qaitbay's Citadel): The gates of medieval architecture can be widely open to you by simply paying a visit to Qaitbey’s labyrinth Citadel, crowing the cornich’s tip. The fort design is influenced by that of the ancient light house, and is best when visited at sunset, as waves tend to crash on the fort’s foot, and small fishing boats surround the area, creating an artistic canvas, calling to be photographed. Recommended: Once your tour of the fort is done, and you’ve enjoyed the warmth of the sun, a 10 min walk leads you to taste heavenly, traditional ice cream {unlike the one you’re familiar with}, as a small shop overlooking the sea named "Jelaty Azza" (meaning ice cream Azza), offers you an unforgettable, cool off experience. Anyone would be glad to guide you!
Bibliotheca Alexandrina: As a successful attempt to
rekindle the brilliance of the ancient, lost Library,
stands Bibliotheca Alexandrina with its striking rising
sun design; a flourishing cultural center on the shores
of the Mediterranean, preaching dialogue and tolerance.
Embracing three comprehensive libraries with one
specialized for children, museums with rare antiquities,
and an exceptional manuscript showroom, makes the visit
to the library an interesting one for children and
adults alike. Guided tours of the library are available
in all languages.
The Greco Roman Museum: Housing remaining pieces of the
ancient light house, as well as rare Greek and Roman
collections of over 40,000 relics, makes this museum an
essential stop.
Pompey's Pillar :
Al-Montazah Palace: After a long day of
sightseeing, Al Montazah Palace is the best place to
rest and reflect. Surrounded by endless greenery and
woods, overlooking the sea, one can sit to enjoy the sun
and utmost peacefulness. continue reading about Alexandria <<previous (1 - 2 - 3) next>> |
