Tour to World War II Cemetery:
The Battle of El Alamein was an important turning point in World War II, as it was fought between the Commonwealth forces stationed in Egypt and the Axis forces (German and Italian) stationed in Libya between 1940 and 1942. The battle aimed to control the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, oil in the Middle East, and supply lines to Russia via Persia .
The El Alamein cemetery contains 7,240 graves of Commonwealth soldiers killed in battles in the Western Desert, including 815 unidentified. There are also 102 graves of soldiers of other nationalities, and plaques commemorate more than 8,500 soldiers and 3,000 airmen from the Commonwealth forces.
The German Tombs:
Your Alexandria day tour to Alamein from Alexandria will lead you from the World War II Cemetery to the German Tombs. The German Cemetery takes the shape of a fortress overlooking the sea with a memorial obelisk in the center of the cemetery. The cemetery contains about 4000 German servicemen.
Alamein Museum:
Alamein Museum is a military museum that was founded in 1956 by former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel-Nasser. The Military Museum in Alamein recites the major events of the Alamein battle and the role of the participating forces. It is divided into three parts (the open-air showground, the permanent display showroom, and the temporary display). Alamein Museum was renovated two times in 1992 and 2014.
