This library is an 11-story, cylindrical building that holds more than eight million books. This exquisitely designed cultural center is a revival of the ancient library in Alexandria and houses a collection of museums, as well as one of the most ambitious libraries in the modern world. Its structure - a giant sun disk - heads the waterfront promenade, and inside contains the massive reading rooms housing eight million volumes. Visitors can explore a range of beautiful galleries below the main library . There is the Manuscript Museum with its wonderful collection of ancient texts and calligraphies, and the Archeology Museum with Greek and Roman antiquities and statues that were found during underwater excavations in the port. These are among the most important attractions for tourists . There are also rotating art galleries, a permanent Egyptian folk art collection, a science museum, and a planetarium aimed squarely at children. It's a wonderful place full of komnoor waiting for you to explore inside and out, a sea of knowledge worth exploring.
