[2025 Alexandria Attraction] Travel Guide for Lighthouse of Alexandria (Updated May)

As a tourist, Alexandria is captivating! I loved exploring the blend of ancient history and modern life. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a stunning architectural marvel, a true highlight. Stepping back in time at the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa was fascinating, and wandering through the Citadel of Qaitbay offered incredible sea views and a sense of bygone eras. Even just strolling along the Corniche, feeling the Mediterranean breeze, was wonderful. It's a city with a unique charm, rich in culture and history, and definitely worth a visit! #cityplaybook #trip #naturalwonders

Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt and a dazzling pearl on the Mediterranean coast. It is known for its long history, rich cultural heritage, and beautiful coastal scenery, and was once the cultural and intellectual center of the ancient world. It is located in northern Egypt, on the southern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, about 225 kilometers from the capital Cairo. With a population of about 5 million, it is one of Egypt's important economic and cultural centers. Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great of the Macedonian Empire in 331 BC. It was once the capital of ancient Egypt and the ruling center of the Ptolemaic dynasty. It is also a city with a profound historical heritage, and whether you are visiting historical sites or enjoying the coastal scenery, you will be enchanted.

#summerdestinations Exploring Qaitbay Fort in Alexandria was a highlight of my summer vacation in Egypt. Situated on the Mediterranean coast, the entrance fee is around 60 EGP (about $2), making it very affordable. The fort, built in the 15th century on the site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, offers breathtaking views of the sea and the city. Walking through the well-preserved walls and towers was like stepping back in time. The history and architecture are fascinating, and the sea breeze made the visit even more enjoyable. Nearby, I strolled along the Corniche and visited the Alexandria Library. Qaitbay Fort is a must-see for history enthusiasts and anyone wanting a stunning coastal view. 🏰🌊 #QaitbayFort #Alexandria #Egypt #HistoricalSites #MediterraneanViews #TravelEgypt #SummerInEgypt
