Top Libraries in Cairo: A Guide to the City’s Best Reading Spots
For those requiring total peace and quiet to work or study in frenetic Cairo, nothing beats a library.
In an era dominated by work cafés and instantaneous Google searches, libraries may seem outdated, even obsolete - relics of the past. However, for book lovers, nothing beats perusing through a library's shelves on a lazy afternoon in search of the next read and settling down in a quiet corner to enjoy it. Libraries are also wonderful but often overlooked working spaces. Although you may be denied your matcha latte, a good library can guarantee the peace and quiet needed to finish that last-minute assignment or work on a personal project.
From a neo-Gothic palace and a sprawling modernist complex to a monastery nestled in a lush garden, Cairo’s libraries cater to diverse tastes and settings, underscoring the city’s rich tradition as a centre of learning.
