Amazing Tour to El Alamein from Alexandria
Your tour begins when one of our representatives with a qualified guide meets with you to start your tour to el Alamein from Alexandria, which is one of the cities of the province of Matrouh, situated west of Alexandria and east of Marsa Matrouh. It is divided into three main areas: El Alamein, the village of Sidi Abdel Rahman, and the village of Tel El Eis. The battle of El Alamein, one of the most well-known battles of World War II between the Allied and Axis powers, took place on its territory, and the German Afrika Korps were defeated.
The city has cemeteries, memorials, and a museum to remember the victims of that battle of different nationalities. The city's economy is based mainly on its natural oil wealth, explored by several Egyptian companies, and its tourist areas, dotted with several luxury tourist villas, such as Porto in Marina and Marassi in Sidi Abdel Rahman.
The history of the city dates back to Roman times, since Leucaspes, an ancient Roman port city, was built on its lands.
The First Battle of El Alamein or Battle of Alam Halfa is one of the battles of World War II that took place in the city of El Alamein between the Allied countries represented by the British Eighth Army under the command of Montgomery and the Axis countries represented by the African Corps formed by German and Italian forces under the command of Rommel during the period between August 31 and September 7, 1942, and ended with the victory of the British Eighth Army under Montgomery and the retreat of the African Corps forces, which suffered from a lack of supplies and the continuous British bombardment with air and artillery fire, which caused their failure to reach the Suez Canal in what is known as the Six Day Race.
After finishing your adventures in the city of El Alamein we return again to your hotel in Alexandria.
