Framed through a pointed Gothic-style stone arch opening in the walls of Qaitbay Citadel (Qal'et Qaitbay) in Alexandria, a photographer carrying a red backpack stands on the outer stone rampart overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. The citadel was built in 1477 AD by Sultan Al-Ashraf Qaitbay on the eastern tip of Pharos Island, the same site as the ancient Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The composition uses the arched wall opening as a natural frame, highlighting both the Mamluk military architecture and the vivid turquoise waters of the sea beyond.
