The Library itself was fine but getting there from ship and getting back to ship was difficult. The driver was very nice, but he did not have a sign with our name and did not make himself obvious at the port or at pick up. Some of this was due to a government official motorcade but it was still unnerving for us. Alexandria is very congested and we thought we were stranded. Again not all of this was driver's fault and he was very apologetic but situation could have been handled better. He also spoke very limited English which added to the confusion. In addition description of tour made it seem like we would have a private English speaking guide at library, but it was actually a large group tour.

This library is simply incredible! Definitely take the free one hour tour which will give you an excellent overview. We have never been so impressed by a library. Although the ancient library is no longer this one should be up there as a wonder. Wished we had more time to just browse around. You can easily spend a day here and they have several collections for an additional fee.
