The legendary library of Alexandria, also known as the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, reopened this week. It was closed for the last few weeks during the demonstrations, both to protect it from vandalism, and to protest the army’s curfew. And the library’s director, Ismail Serageldin says that in all the protests, not a stone was thrown at the library, and not a pane of glass was broken. “What happened was pure magic,” he says. “People from within the demonstrations broke out of the demonstrations and simply linked hands, and they said ‘This is our library. Don’t touch it.’” The ancient library has been destroyed several times by vandals and conquerors — most notably by a fire, several centuries ago. But, Serageldin says, this time was different. “This revolution in Egypt was a liberal revolution. People who believe in democracy and freedom of expression, in pluralism, and openness,” he said. “And I’m proud and happy that the Library of Alexandria may have contributed in so...

AL TAHRIR SQUARE, Egypt (eTN) - Thousand of Egyptians filled Cairo’s symbolic Al Tahrir Square after the last Friday prayers and the day after to celebrate the first month of their successful revolution and the second week since Mubarak’s forced step down from office. The peaceful gathering also launched slogans aimed at urging the military to overhaul the newly-appointed cabinet and install a fresh team of technocrats. Among the prevailing crowd of youngsters, many students conversant in English expressed their pride for the contribution to the epochal political change. Their expectation is now for the system to recognize the significance of the change, which for them means jobs, economic opportunities, and social justice - the only conditions that will make them feel “free” in a peaceful new Egypt. Cairo, a megalopolis of almost twenty million people, was seen as surprisingly calm. Life as usual was witnessed by the maddening traffic that, together with the pyramids, is ...

When you’re done with the sightseeing and morning exhaustion, embrace Cairo’s incredible selection of shopping, leisure and nightlife activities.
