As well as the displays, statuary, and antiquities unearthed in and around the city. *Bibliotheca Alexandrina reimagining of Alexandria's ancient Great Library, this gorgeously designed cultural center contains a host of museums. The Manuscript Museum with its magnificent collection of ancient texts and scrolls and the Antiquities Museum with its Graeco-Roman antiquities and statuary found during underwater exploration in the harbor are the two prime attractions. Museum and Planetarium that is aimed squarely at children *Fort QaitbeyWalk the long shorefront Corniche road heading west, and you'll finally arrive at Fort Qaitbey.
