Located approximately 8.5 kilometers west of the Helnan Al Mamoura Hotel, the historic Fort of Qaitbay stands proudly at the tip of the Corniche in Alexandria. This 15th-century fortress was built by Sultan Qaitbay in 1477 AD on the exact site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria—one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the fort offers visitors a glimpse into Egypt’s rich naval history, striking architecture, and panoramic sea views. It is a must-visit cultural landmark that blends historical significance with stunning coastal scenery, making it a perfect half-day trip from the hotel.
