Itinerary

Begin with pickup at your Alexandria hotel, and make the 60-mile (100-km) journey to Alamain in a private vehicle. Learn the story of Rommel’s defeat at the Second Battle of El Alamain, which turned the tide of the war in favor of Allied troops. Follow the conflict through exhibits that share Egyptian, German, and British perspectives on the fighting. See uniforms worn in Egypt during the Second World War, along with weapons and other military artifacts.

Continue to the Commonwealth Cemetery, where soldiers from all around the Western Desert campaigns are buried alongside those who died in the Battle of El Alamein. There are 6,425 unmarked graves in the cemetery, along with 815 graves from unknown soldiers. See the ossuary-style German military cemetery on a hill outside town, beside the Italian cemetery.

At the end of your time in Alamain, make the return trip to Alexandria. This tour concludes with drop-off at your hotel.

Great day at Alamein Commonwealth Cemetery and War Museum

Allan_S, Nov 2023

The driver and guide were on time and the guide provided us with lots of information. It was a longer drive than expected but comfortable. The condition of the vehicle was not as we expected given it was advised new vehicle, but once we got over that, we really enjoyed it. The cemetery and museum where good and well worth visiting for what we wanted out of it. Our Grand Father was in the Australian 9th division and a “rat of Tobruk” so it had a special meaning for us.
