Shaped in the form of an open book, Mohamed bin Rashid Library (MBRL), a new architectural marvel in Dubai opened its doors to the public this summer. Located in Al Jaddaf, this seven-story marvel offers spectacular views of the beautiful Creek waters and has turned into a beacon of knowledge and a veritable boon for both youngsters and adults.

The AED 1 billion venue, which took six years to build, was officially inaugurated by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai. Proclaimed as the largest and most technologically advanced library in the entire region with state-of-the-art facilities, it is a must-visit place in the UAE.

The building is spread over a total area of 54,000 sqm and can host 1,000 visitors at a time. In addition to an outdoor amphitheater, a movie theatre, a literary museum, a conference center and a gift shop there is a two-story cafe for quick bite or drink.

Within the eco-friendly building design, several VR and AR technologies giving a completely immersive experience are mainly powered by solar panels. Water recycling facilities are set up to ensure lush green spaces around.

In the media library, there is an electronic gaming lounge where visitors can watch movies or documentary in a four-seater enclosure. Smart scanners allow students to scan parts of books and resources they require that can be emailed for reference.

Interactive books and stories are available in both Arabic and English. A dedicated section for blind children consist of books published in braille. A sensory pod is also available to accommodate and offer comfort for autistic learners.

Entry to Mohamed bin Rashid Library is free, although pre-booking is required on the website. Annual paid membership scheme that allows UAE residents to borrow books for varying periods will be shortly announced on their site.
