Mediterranean coastal city is no longer reminiscent of the ancient city from Pharaoh’s times and little of that ancient time remains. A few isolated sites can be visited and one of the most famous, the Lighthouse of Pharos is no longer and would have been in the far distant horizon of this photo of the Eastern Harbour where there is an old military fort built by Sultan Qaitbay in 1480 which is thought to have been built on its foundations. With a distinctly European feel to it, it is sometimes offered as a day trip on a Cairo package but is seldom part of the main Nile packages.
