http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com Qaitbay Citadel is a sight to behold. And a perfect movie set for an action movie about the Crusades. The Citadel was built on the site of Ancient Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and guided sailors into harbor. Destroyed by an earthquake, the Qaitbay Citadel was rebuilt by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay who fortified the place to use as coastal defense against the Turks. Built in 1477, guide Ahmed began walking us through, up and down, all the while relating Qaitbay's very interesting history. Please don't forget to Share, Like and Subscribe! Thanks.
