The Planetarium Science Center (PSC), part of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina in Alexandria, Egypt, offers an interactive educational experience focused on science and technology. The center features a Pre-Historic Animal Park with dinosaur models, an ALEXPloratorium where visitors can explore exhibits on physics and astronomy, and specialized programs such as remote sensing workshops and robotics education at RoboAlex Center. PSC also hosts annual events like the Eratosthenes festival, celebrating scientific heritage, and the Intel BASEF, a science and engineering competition for high school students. After its renovation in 2009, the center upgraded its planetarium with a new dome projection system, offering shows like "Stars of the Pharaohs" and "New Horizons," which explore both ancient and modern astronomical discoveries.

    We waited 45 minutes doing nothing as there isn't anything to do there, to see a movie in Arabic... Nobody warned us it was in Arabic despite us talking to the ticket selling guys in English and to a few other people from the staff and if you think it was common sense, there is an information board at the front where it is written that Egyptians need a hearing set to view the movie.

    The worst 800 pounds I spent in my trip to Alexandria with the family. Very weak story and scenario. Extremely poor 3D graphics, effect and production, not leveraging at all the full 360 dome, but rather being treated as flat screen. We watched the mission, not sure of other shows. And by the way, it is only in Arabic, you are never told about it when you book. Don't waste your tine

    This was the first place I visited when I came to Egypt. I decided to attend one of the events at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina - the Planetarium and was shocked by how rude the workers in this section of the library are. This place is not just a library; it's supposed to be a cultural center. I'm not sure what kind of culture we are promoting with such a rude attitude from the workers who are supposed to be professional. The show itself was okay, but I found myself constantly apologizing to the guest I invited to join me. They, too, were disappointed by the rudeness of the workers.
