This was not easy to find, but I searched until I found a similar photograph. Here is the site link:

Scroll down until you see the photo with this caption:
"Fig. 7.1.3.5. An impressive tower to shelter pigeons. A typical scene in the Nile Delta. The tower can be compared with the minaret. Notice the analogy in the shape of the religious and utilitarian building."

I enter "Nile River Delta, Egypt" for my answer, but if you agree, you are free to choose your own wording, or search further. Good luck!

The ancient port/city with the mother of all libraries to the north is the city of Alexandria and the Alexandria Library.  I went with the Nile Delta too.
