Bibliotheca Alexandrina
We'll then enjoy lunch in the center of Alexandria, with a menu including fish and seafood rice. Then, in the evening, we'll see one of the most important modern buildings in the city: The New Alexandria Library. Built as an homage to the library from the 3rd century BC and burnt down, perhaps during the Roman Civil War in 48 BC, this new building houses thousands of papyrus scrolls and was one of the world centers of scholarship and knowledge in the ancient world. Today, the library, reinaugurated in 2002, is one of the most important cultural spaces in the Eastern Mediterranean.Finally, late in the evening, we'll return to the hotels in Cairo.
