Samar’s dream turns into a library… Bayan, a cultural window in the heart of Luxor

The city of Luxor is accustomed to welcoming visitors from around the world to enjoy its ancient monuments. In this city, which has almost no libraries, a young woman decided to offer her city another cultural dimension. Samar Mohamed, a graduate of the Faculty of Arts, Department of English, turned her passion for reading into a cultural project that serves the people of Luxor. Bayan was a library selling cultural books, struggling to survive amid low demand for books and low financial returns.
