The Marine Museum is one of the smallest museums in Egypt. I actually entered it by mistake because I thought it was one of the gates that lead to Qaytbey Fort in Alexandria. In fact, it once was one of the gates to the fort. Today, it is transformed into a marine museum that displays different kinds of sea creatures and scenes from the Red and Mediterranean Seas. OK, this is not the usual type of venue for those visiting Egypt, but in our ever consuming quest to document every museum in Egypt, a country chocked full of museums, I couldn't just pass it by, even though a few of the exhibits might be a bit cheesy. After all, if one is visiting Fort Qaytbey, it is very easy to poke one's head in to this museum as well.
