Day Tour in Al Alamin
We start driving about 105 to the Alamin which is Located near the Mediterranean Sea in Northern Egypt, the small village of El Alamein is a gateway to the broad and barren plains of North Africa's deserts. Meaning 'two flags' in Arabic, El Alamein's geography placed it between two colliding forces. Upon arrival you will visit the Alemein War Cemetery. In the Commonwealth section of the cemetery are more than 7,200 graves of soldiers from the African Campaign of World War II, predominately from the Battle of El Alamein. The barren plain of sand that surrounds the cemetery gives it a very surreal feeling. El Alamein was a last stand for the Allies in North Africa.to the north was the Mediterranean Sea and to the south was the Qattara Depression. El Alamein was a bottleneck. You will then visit the Military Museum, built in 1965 and remodeled in 1992 during the 50th anniversary of the battle. Germany, Italy and England contributed information and military items during the renovation. The building consists of five halls containing displays of weapons, military garb and battle strategies. Continue with a short drive west of town to Tel el-Eisa Hill, where the citadel-like Cemeteries of the Italian and German soldiers are located. The German cemetery is a mass single tomb with the remains of 4,200 German soldiers, built in the style of a medieval fortress. The Italian cemetery is a mausoleum containing several galleries of tombs, many simply marked "Ignoto", unknown. After your visit, begin your drive back to Alexandria
