The citadel's amazing architecture, and panoramic views of the sea, make it an enjoyable destination for all ages. However, there are five tips to keep in mind: - To fully understand the historical significance of the Qaitbay Citadel, you should hire a professional tour guide as this will provide you with valuable insights. - The Qaitbay Citadel can get crowded, to avoid large crowds and enjoy a more serene experience, consider visiting it in the early morning. This will give you a better chance to appreciate the architecture and take beautiful photographs without too many people in the background. - Don't rush through your visit; take some time to soak in the beautiful panorama and enjoy the sea breeze. There are also several vantage points and rooftop areas within the citadel that provide fantastic photo opportunities.

This is one of my favorite places that we saw. It is beautiful and has even more beautiful views. Be prepared; the steps are strenuous! You can take a much or as little time as you like to walk through it. About 45 minutes is probably ideal. Really pretty place to visit.

Shaima was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable of the histories of Egypt and the sites we visited. Would definitely love to have her guidance on any excursion in Alexandria!
