Where the Lighthouse of Alexandria used to stand (one of the 7 ancient wonders of the world) now lies the Citadel of Qaitbay. Built in the 15th century atop the ruins of the Pharos Lighthouse, this beautiful fort is located in the coastal city of Alexandria in Egypt and overlooks the Mediterranean Sea. Follow along as I explore the citadel and share some of it's history.

Hey guys, welcome to the channel! My name's Gisselle, I'm a budget traveler and have been to 6 out of the 7 continents, living for some time in Sydney, Australia as well as in Saigon, Vietnam. I am currently living in Cairo, Egypt and learning some conversational Arabic. I am a lover of language and a culturally curious lady just making my way through life one day at a time. I live to learn, I love to travel and explore, try new things and meet interesting people anywhere and everywhere in the world. Come with me as I solo travel and find fascinating new places, try delicious food, meet lovely people and share a moment in time on this beautiful planet, our Earth.
