The exterior of the library

The Library of Alexandria, also known as Royal Library of Alexandria or Ancient Library of Alexandria, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world located in Alexandria, Egypt.

In 48 BCE, Bayek, having followed the clues in Aya's home travelled to the library in search of his beloved. There, he was greeted by Phanos the Younger, Aya's cousin who explained the reason for Aya's absence. Phanos later directed the Medjay to the entrance to Aya's hideout beneath the library.

The library was partially destroyed during the Siege of Alexandria in 47 BCE, when Ptolemy XIII's army set fire to the city in order to besiege Julius Caesar and his army.
