Extraordinary and emotionally overwhelming

Karen_C, Apr 2026
One of the most moving, evocative tours I've ever been on. The El Alamein museum is well laid out and informative. We could have have spent hours more there. The hardware o display is incredible. The war cemeteries are something to see. The German & Italian cemeteries are beautiful architectural monuments but the Commonwealth cemetery is is extraordinary and emotionally overwhelming. Mr Mohamed was our guide again today and explained everything succinctly with respect and compassion. If this is your area of interest it's definitely a not to be missed. Our driver 'Redd(?)' got us there & back again safely - no mean feat. Thank you

Great Guide

Mahmood is a fantastic guide. He's well-educated, engaging, friendly, and flexible. Visiting the Commonwealth Cemetery was a moving experience. We were able to add on a tour of the Serapium for a very reasonable price. This is where Mahmood really came into his own. We then modified our drop-off to a restaurant Mahmood recommended for a truly authentic Egyptian meal at a family restaurant, Kebab Ouzi.

Trip in the end great. Guide was terrible!!! Would recommend the tour but get a much better guide.

When we eventually got to the right memorial in El Alamein for the Allied forces including New Zealand and Australia it was fantastic. Not sure Viator why we joined another tour but the guide took us to the German and Italian which our countries were in conflict with. She was lovely but had no history of this event. That was disappointing.

Trip to El alamein was great, both guide Salma and driver were happy to let me go at my own pace and show me around.

Very worthwhile trip to El Alamein

Good road from Alexandria to El Alamein, meant the journey each way took 1.5hrs. Extraordinary to see all the development along the route. The three cemeteries were very quiet and learning that development is encroaching on them was a worry as they did not care about the history and the dead. The museum was very interesting, well laid out, the staff member very keen to show me round and explain the exhibits in good English. Our guide for the day was Mohamed, and he together with the driver made it a very worthwhile trip and answered and explained additional information along the way. I know about WWII in North Africa and would thoroughly recommend for anyone with an interest in history to do this tour.

Our guide for the day was Nessrin, and she together with her driver made it a very worthwhile trip. I knew very little about WW11 in North Africa and would thoroughly recommend for anyone with an interest in history.

Good sites but take your own travel guide book

Michelle_D, Nov 2023
It was very difficult to understand our English speaking guide. He was a very nice man but we really struggled to understand him for most of the day. We said this to him and he tried to speak a lot slower for us . The sites are worth visiting and you are probably better off with a travel book if you don’t speak Arabic .

Fascinating tour

Mohamed and our driver were so kind and helpful and made sure we saw everything we could. Mohamed explained lots of interesting things about the battle of El Alamein and the cemeteries.

Tres bien pour tout voir l'essentiel en une journée

Karim était la a l'heure et tres gentil. La description du programme est exacte. Répondait à toutes nos questions mais aurions aimer description de la ville pendant les déplacements. Un peu trop vite aussi.Tout était terminė en moins de 5h30. Aurions pu nous attarder un peu plus a certains endroits. Tres bon rapport qualité prix.
