In Assassin’s Creed Origins, Alexandria contains the Great Library visited by Bayek.
Alexandria is one of the game’s major cities and a center of learning, politics, and trade in Ptolemaic Egypt. Bayek visits the city during his investigation into the hidden organization that threatens Cleopatra and the wider kingdom. The city includes the Library of Alexandria and the Pharos Lighthouse, two landmarks associated with its ancient reputation.
The game’s version of the library is connected to Aya, Bayek’s wife, and to the scholarly world of Alexandria. Historical evidence about the ancient library’s exact appearance and survival is debated, so the game presents a dramatic interpretation rather than a complete reconstruction supported by certainty.
Alexandria is often mixed up with Siwa, Bayek’s home region, or Memphis, another major city in the game. Assassin’s Creed Origins was released in 2017 and is set mainly in Egypt during the first century BCE.
