The Story Behind Bibliothek

Bibliothek was established in 2021 by Amr Barakat as a combination of a bookstore, gallery and coffeeshop under one umbrella; a cultural hub. 

The concept was borrowed from Europe and the US and introduced for the first time to the Egyptian market serving to benefit the local community with a wide variety of books and works of art. The lack of such a concept in the local market made this enterprise appealing to professionals, and students who regularly come to use Bibliothek as a convenient workspace. 

Barakat was keen, after a long career in managing fast moving consumer goods, on giving back to the community by offering a space that highlights the role of intellect and art in society and be a leading role model for other cultural spaces in Egypt.
