| Qaitbey Fort projects into the Nile Delta on Pharos island in Alexandria, Egypt. On this site once stood the lighthouse known as the Pharos of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Converted into a fort in the 1480s, the site now houses a naval museum that features exhibits on Roman and Napoleonic sea battles. | ||||||
