No. The Pharos of Alexandria was a lighthouse, and it had an octagonal tower constructed above a rectangular box-like base. It did not resemble a pyramid.
The Pharos of Alexandria does not exist anymore. It was severely damaged by earthquakes in 1303 and 1323, and ceased to exist completely in 1480, when the last remaining stump of its base was incorporated into a fort.
