The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is an outstanding landmark in Alexandria. Its modern, stunning architecture is complemented by an extensive collection of books and exhibits that cater to all interests. The library’s design, with its striking exterior and spacious interior, creates an inspiring atmosphere for visitors. The panoramic views from the rooftop are spectacular, and the additional cultural spaces enrich the experience further. It's a must-see destination for anyone interested in knowledge, culture, and history.
One of the seven wonders ...it could be!!! The new library of Alexandria is one of (the many) Egypt's jewels! Astounding building, the vibe of it was something thrilling to live for. The structure inside and outside is top notch and I love how it is categorized depending on what you want to study! I've never been to something similar in my entire life and I think it's a very unique place to visit! Still amazed really!
