It stands as a landmark and an icon on the skyline facing the Mediterranean Sea. A structure with 11 floors, the place features a planetarium which is considered as a unique feature of this building since it has a long wall on which alphabets from each and every language in the world are scripted. The contestants enjoyed a lot and looked astonished as they got to know more about the place.

According to Miss Thailand Chanita Jantanet, it is one of best attractions in Alexandria, especially for educational and historical research people. "It has a collection of 8 million books and can accommodate 2500 readers. It is such a great library that combines art and cultures. The 3D dome planitarium with wonderful effects made me feel like flying upon the stars." Kenyan beauty, Caroline Kamar said, "You'll realize how there are no age boundaries when it comes to knowledge seeking as this place is visited by people from all walks of life day in and day out. Not only is it a library, but it is also a museum with collections of papyri manuscripts, artwork, artifacts, paintings, sculpture, and books. The building itself is a work of art."
