As darkness falls over Alexandria‘s coastline, the historic Qaitbay Citadel is transformed into a spectacular stage of light, music, and storytelling. Discover the remarkable history of Alexandria while enjoying an unforgettable evening overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

Your WOW TOURS EGYPT representative will meet you at Alexandria Port, or your preferred location in Alexandria before transferring you comfortably to the historic Qaitbay Citadel, beautifully situated at the entrance to Alexandria‘s Eastern Harbor.

As twilight settles over the Mediterranean, the fortress gradually transforms beneath the evening sky, creating the perfect setting for one of Alexandria‘s most memorable nighttime experiences. Built in 1477 by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay on the legendary site of the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, the citadel has guarded the city’s coastline for centuries and remains one of its most recognizable landmarks.
