In Assassin's Creed Origins, Alexandria is the ancient city that contains the Library of Alexandria.
Alexandria is one of the major urban centers visited by Bayek during the game's story. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BCE, the city became a major center of scholarship, commerce, and Hellenistic culture. Origins presents it as a cosmopolitan place where Egyptian, Greek, and Roman influences meet.
The Library of Alexandria was part of the city's famous intellectual tradition. The game includes the adjacent Mouseion and library as explorable historical locations, although the precise history of the ancient library complex is debated by modern scholars. The game therefore uses a dramatic reconstruction rather than claiming every detail is certain.
Alexandria is distinct from Siwa, Bayek's home region, and Memphis, another major Egyptian city in the game. The city's coastal position and Greek foundation also distinguish it from the inland Nile Valley locations visited during the adventure.
