    A perfect library and museum. If it is you first time to visit the place, you can ask for a free guide with Arabic, English or French language to take you in a tour inside the library. The place is well decorated. Is is Calm and clean place to enjoy reading or researching. A place must seen

    Very beautiful space and one of our best experience in Alexandrina. I would highly recommend the tour. The guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. However, I agree with the previous comment on the admission fees-it should probably be free at least for the locals as a public facility. Meanwhile, we got stopped by the safe guards at a special collection. It wasn’t too pleasant to be separated from the rest of the group just because we look different.

    This is a heaven for book lovers, students, researchers, or even just tourists. The architecture is amazing, with natural lights, the atmosphere and its ambiance, photogenic and instagramable. This library has some rare book collections which can access for limited. If you are a philologist, you can search for classical literature here, specially Arabic literature. In the lower floor, usually the management opens public exhibitions such painting, drawing, photography, culture, civilization, invention, etc.

    The Royal Library of Alexandria or Ancient Library of Alexandria in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. It was dedicated to the Muses, the nine goddesses of the arts.[1] It flourished under the patronage of the Ptolemaic dynasty and functioned as a major center of scholarship from its construction in the 3rd century BC until the Roman conquest of Egypt in 30 BC, with collections of works, lecture halls, meeting rooms, and gardens. Alexandria was considered the capital of knowledge and learning, in part because of the Great Library.[2] The library was part of a larger research institution called the Musaeum of Alexandria, where many of the most famous thinkers of the ancient world studied.
