El-Alamein War Museum and WWII Cemetery Tour

Our guide will pick you up from your hotel in Cairo, and then you will travel to El-Alamein.
Your first stop will be the Military Museum. The museum aims to document the Al-Alamein battles by showcasing weapons, armor, models, battle course-of-action maps, as well as belongings of battle commanders.
Continue to visit the WWII cemeteries. The El-Alamein cemetery contains the graves of men who died at all stages of the Western Desert campaigns, especially those who died in the Battle of El Alamein at the end of October 1942 and in the period immediately before that. The cemetery now contains 7,240 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, of which 815 are unidentified. There are also 102 war graves of other nationalities.
