Mohammed Bin Rashid Library

Built along the historic Dubai Creek and designed in the shape of a traditional Islamic lectern, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library opened its doors to the public in June 2022. A landmark unique to Dubai, the library is the largest in the region and houses valuable books and cultural and educational resources that keep pace with the latest developments in research and academia.

Aside from enjoying the remarkable architecture and exploring the library's seven levels spanning 54,000sqm, visitors can explore a fully digitalised laboratory and several specialised collections inside. There's dedicated compilations for children, maps and atlases, media and the arts, periodicals and more.
