Evening At Qaitbay Fort & Horse Drawn Carriage

OVERVIEW

Follow a spectacularly scenic route through Alexandria in the evening when the city is beautifully illuminated and most radiant. Along the way, you will pass a statue of the founder of modern Egypt, the Naval Unknown Soldier Memorial and a magnificent mosque built over the tomb of a 13th-century Sufi saint. Similarly, the limestone Qaitbay Citadel was built on a historically significant site – the island where the Pharos lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, stood until an earthquake destroyed it. A tour of the medieval Qaitbay fortification will reveal its Islamic architectural elements and military history through the centuries. While dining at the Greek Nautical Club, you will enjoy a view of Alexandria’s harbor, a setting that will look all the more breathtaking with the city lights reflecting on the water. For the ultimate conclusion to the evening, you will travel along the waterside Corniche in a horse-drawn carriage for two.
