Overview

Experience a historical tour exploring the site of the World War 2 Battle of El Alamein.

This private full-day tour from Alexandria explores the site of the WWII Battle of El Alamein, covering the Military Museum's weapons and commander exhibits along with the Commonwealth and Axis war cemeteries overlooking the Mediterranean.

After hotel pickup in Alexandria, the drive follows the northern coast past smaller Mediterranean ports on the way to the battlefield. At El Alamein, the itinerary begins with the Military Museum, where an extensive display of armaments and period exhibits explains the strategic decisions behind the engagement.

A lunch stop of traditional Egyptian dishes is included before the tour turns to the more solemn part of the day: visits to the Commonwealth War Cemetery and the Axis cemeteries, set on a promontory above the sea, where headstones and memorials record the human cost of the battle.

A licensed guide with detailed knowledge of the campaign accompanies the group, with roundtrip transportation from an Alexandria hotel by private air-conditioned vehicle and lunch included; souvenirs and any activities outside the itinerary are on travelers' own account.

This tour is aimed at history enthusiasts, veterans' families, and travelers interested in 20th-century military history rather than pharaonic sites, and because it runs as a private tour with daily availability, it can be scheduled around most Alexandria stays.
