El Alamein, Egypt


Egypt - Ras El Sudr - Marsa Alam - Luxor - Hurghada - Aswan - Alexandria - Abu Simbel - Sharm el Sheikh

Located 66 miles west of Alexandria and 150 miles northwest of Cairo, El Alamein is a town of northern Egypt on the Mediterranean Sea. This modest village of El Alamein achieved place in Egypt history during the Second World War. El Alamein was named because of the twin peaked hills upon which it stands.

Just because of its role in history this modest village of Egypt is popular for its military and war memorials. But acting as the major port facility for shipping oil in Egypt, El Alamein is among one of the emerging tourist destinations of Egypt.

There is a war museum that has various collections from the Battle of El Alamein and other African battles. This museum is placed within the military area of El Alamein. The Italian and German Military Cemetery situated on Tel el-Eisa hill is just located out of the town. Besides of these two cemeteries, there is also a Commonwealth War Cemetery having graves of soldiers from various countries that fought from the side of Britain.

One of Egypt's popular beach resorts particularly famous among the locals is the Marina Tourist Village that stretches from east to west along the shore near to El Alamein's modern village. Most of the monuments in El Alamein are centered near to the War Cemetery only. There is also a Greek memorial erected in the form of temple, which stands on the south side of the El Alamein battlefield.

The most fascinating and elegantly erected monument of El Alamein is the Italian Memorial made in white marble. It is the largest structure in El Alamein that stands five km beyond the German Memorial.
