The original Library of Alexandria was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, but was burned down 1,600 years ago.
The revival of the Ancient Library of Alexandria Project aims at building a universal modern public library to be a centre of culture, science and academic research. The library is to provide both the national and international communities of scholars and researchers with unique collections and facilities focusing on Alexandrian, Egyptian, ancient and medieval civilizations as well as on contemporary disciplines. The library will also have valuable collections of science and technology resource materials to help the socio-economic and cultural development studies on Egypt and the region.
