The new library of Alexandria is an architectural feast with its curved facade with stunning carvings in the languages of the world. The library forms part of a broader offering of three museums and the oculus shaped planetarium. Nearby overlooking the Mediterranean is the Citadel of Qaitbay (formerly the Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World). In the Karmus district you can also visit Pompey’s Column and the Catacombs of Kom El Shoqafa - totes worth it. #libraryofalexandria #lighthouseofalexandria #ancientegypt #egypt #alexandria #travel #wanderlust #curioushumanics
