Famous attractions in Alexandria, Egypt: Library of Alexandria, suitable for taking photos📸

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Alexandria, Egypt is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many attractions in Alexandria. This time I will introduce a very famous local attraction: the Library of Alexandria. Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt. The must-see place when visiting Alexandria is the Library of Alexandria, which was once the sun of the human civilization world. Together with the Lighthouse of Alexandria, it is the highest representative of the achievements of Alexandria. People only know that the Library of Alexandria was built in 259 BC, which was the time when bamboo slips were popular in China and the thoughts of Laozi, Confucius and other philosophers began to spread. It is said that the only purpose of building the Library of Alexandria was to "collect books from all over the world" and realize the dream of "the world's knowledge center", so successive kings even took every means to achieve this: ordering a search of every ship entering the port of Alexandria, and any books found, regardless of nationality, would be immediately returned to the Library of Alexandria. Through a variety of means, both legitimate and illegitimate, the Library of Alexandria quickly became the greatest library in early human history: earning the library a reputation as "the best school in the world" and spreading civilization throughout the Mediterranean world for between 200 and 800 years. The disappearance of the Library of Alexandria is also shrouded in mystery. Today, people only know that it was destroyed in two fires. The Library of Alexandria was rebuilt after 1995 with financial assistance from the United Nations Development Program at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars.
