Citadel of Qaitbay, also known as Fort Qaitbey, is a 15th-century defensive fortress located on the Mediterranean coast of Alexandria, Egypt. Built by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay in 1477, the citadel served as a protective stronghold ... against naval invasions. Visitors can explore the well-preserved architecture, climb the towers for panoramic views of the sea, and visit the onsite maritime museum. The best time to visit is during the cooler months of spring or fall to fully enjoy the outdoor activities.
