The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which is a revival of the Alexandria Library, the largest library in the ancient world. 

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina is an 11-story library along the ancient harbour in Alexandria. The library can accommodate eight million books and 2500 readers. 

The Alexandria Library is also home to four permanent museums, a planetarium, a conference centre, lots of exhibitions, a children's library, a multimedia library, a library for the blind, and many others. 

The library building is a feast of architectural marvel combining ancient and modern styles. The timeless and bold circular design represents cyclical fluid knowledge throughout time. The tilting and glistering roof represent the ancient Alexandrian lighthouse providing Alexandria with the light of knowledge. 

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina project was made possible by UNESCO and the global cooperation of 18 countries. 

A funny thing happened was that inside the museum I was so immersed in taking pictures and videos that I lost my group and had to complete the tour alone. I was able to meet them after the tour at the exit gate.
