Where the World's Knowledge Once Belonged: The Ancient Library of Alexandria

Not only does history exist in some parts of the world, but it is whispered.
Among them is Alexandria. You can picture it in the silent ruins strewn throughout the city, and you can feel it in the breeze off the Mediterranean. However, the Ancient Library of Alexandria is one tale from this city that continues to captivate people over 2,000 years later.

At Vagus Travel Co., we think that discovering the significance of landmarks is just as important as crossing them off your bucket list. Because of this, Alexandria is one of our favorite destinations on our Top Cities itineraries, particularly for tourists seeking a unique narrative that is based on knowledge rather than just stone.

A Dream That Continues to Motivate

There was more to the Ancient Library of Alexandria than just books and manuscripts. To gather all of human knowledge and disseminate it to the world was the lifeblood of a dream.

The Ptolemies established the library in the third century BCE, drawing academics, scientists, philosophers, and poets from all over the ancient world. People came here to pose impossible questions, interpret sacred texts, engage in philosophical debates, and study the stars.

The modern Bibliotheca Alexandrina honors the original library's legacy with its beautifully designed tribute, constructed close to where the ancient library once stood, even though that library was lost centuries ago due to war, fire, and time.

When we bring visitors here for our VIP Access or Day Tours, they always stop talking for a moment and look up at the enormous, contemporary structure, realizing how long people have been seeking knowledge.

🏛 Your Experience With Vagus Travel Co.

Whether you're visiting Alexandria as part of one of our carefully planned package tours or as a stand-alone day tour, we'll help you experience the city through wonder rather than just sightseeing.

We enjoy sharing the following:

A guided tour of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, which houses millions of contemporary books and exhibits

Strolls around Pompey's Pillar and the Serapeum ruins, where echoes of the former library can still be heard

Visits the Roman catacombs, historic palaces, and seaside vistas that provide a broader picture of Alexandria

It's time to sit, think, and perhaps experience a small portion of that long-held dream yourself.

You won't be escorted through the sights if you have VIP access. You'll have time to reflect, a private guide who can warmly and perceptively bring Alexandria's history to life, and a place to ask questions.
