Fort and Harbour, Alexandria, Egypt, 2007: A Stunning Contrast of Ancient and Modern Beauty This evocative image, captured by the skilled lens of Ethel Davies in 2007, showcases the breathtaking Fort and Harbour of Alexandria, Egypt. The Fort, also known as the Citadel of Qaitbay, is a magnificent defensive fortress that dates back to the 15th century. Situated on the Mediterranean Sea at the harbour, this historical landmark has stood the test of time, bearing witness to the rich cultural heritage of Egypt. The Fort of Qaitbay, with its towering walls and imposing silhouette, stands proudly against the backdrop of the vibrant modern harbour. The calm, clear waters reflect the colours of the Egyptian flag, adding a splash of national pride to the scene. The red, white, and black banner, with its golden eagle, flies high above the fort, a symbol of Mizraim, the ancient name for Egypt. The 21st century bustles around the Fort, with modern ships anchored at the harbour and colourful flags of various nations fluttering in the breeze. The juxtaposition of the ancient and the modern creates a unique and captivating tableau. This image, taken in the 2000s, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Alexandria and the timeless beauty of Egypt. Ethel Davies, a talented photographer, masterfully captures the essence of this remarkable location, offering a glimpse into the rich history and vibrant present of Alexandria, Egypt.
