Bibliotheca Alexandrina
The Bibliotheca Alexandrina (English: Library of Alexandria; Arabic: مكتبة الإسكندرية‎) is a major library and cultural center located on the Mediterranean coast in Alexandria, Egypt.

Construction started in 1995, and after an investment of around US$220 million, the complex was officially opened on October 16, 2002. In 2010, the library received a donation of 500,000 books from the Bibliothèque nationale de France (BnF), making it the sixth-largest Francophone library worldwide.
