The lighthouse ruins area at Qaitbay Citadel marks the historical site of the ancient Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Although the original lighthouse no longer stands, stone remains and foundations reflect its former presence. For travelers, this area offers a rare opportunity to stand where one of history’s most famous structures once guided sailors. The mix of ruins, sea views, and fortress surroundings creates a powerful sense of historical continuity.
