A knowledgeable Egyptologist from Cairo Top Tours will meet you at your hotel and accompany you on your journey to El Alamein, along with a private driver. This scenic drive covers 240 kilometers northwest of Cairo and 106 kilometers west of Alexandria.
Your day tour will begin at the El-Alamein War Museum, where a military officer will provide a comprehensive overview of Egypt's role in the two pivotal battles fought here between the Allies, led by Field Marshal Montgomery, and the Axis, commanded by General Rommel, famously known as the "Desert Fox."
Winston Churchill famously remarked that before El Alamein, we had never won a battle; after El Alamein, we had never lost one. As part of your visit, you’ll explore the Commonwealth Cemetery, which contains 7,240 graves of Commonwealth soldiers from World War II, alongside graves of soldiers from various other nations, including German and Italian memorials.
After a day filled with history, you will return to your hotel in Cairo, reflecting on the significant events that unfolded in this remarkable location.
