The Library of Alexandria

📍Library of Alexandria The reason I made the 6-hour round trip from Cairo to Alexandria was because when I watched "Cleopatra" back in the day, the Ptolemaic army entered the city amid the chaos of war, and a guard reported to Cleopatra that the library was on fire. Cleopatra glanced from the palace balcony with an indifferent expression, as if it was just a neighbor's yard burning. I was the only one worried—those 80,000 ancient books! Today’s Library of Alexandria holds nearly 800,000 volumes and is still located by the Mediterranean coast. Coincidentally, it’s the first day of school, and many students are studying inside 📖 Compared to visiting tourist spots, this quiet city tour feels more casual 🩵💙
