ITINERARY FOR THE WEEKEND OF APRIL 19 - APRIL 20, 2025

Unwind and Explore: A Weekend in El-Alamein’s Historical and Natural Splendor

Experience a weekend of tranquility and exploration in El-Alamein, where the weather is perfect for delving into historical wonders and the serene beauty of the Siwa Oasis. Discover the rich tapestry of history and culture that awaits you.

Embrace the Historical Echoes of El-Alamein

As the sun rises over the tranquil landscapes of El-Alamein, the air is filled with a sense of history and reverence. This weekend, embark on a journey that intertwines relaxation with exploration, as you delve into the rich tapestry of World War II history. The weather is your ally, with clear skies and a gentle breeze accompanying your every step. Begin your day with the El Alamein Historical Tour, a private day trip from Alexandria that promises an immersive experience into the past. With an Egyptologist guide by your side, you’ll explore the War Museum of Alamein and the solemn World War Cemeteries. The tour starts at 9:00 AM, allowing you to bask in the morning sun as you traverse the historical sites.

“Very worthwhile trip to El Alamein - Good road from Alexandria to El Alamein, meant the journey each way took 1.5hrs. Extraordinary to see all the development along the route. The three cemeteries were very quiet and learning that development is encroaching on them was a worry as they did not care about the history and the dead. The museum was very interesting, well laid out, the staff member very keen to show me round and explain the exhibits in good English. Our guide for the day was Mohamed, and he together with the driver made it a very worthwhile trip and answered and explained additional information along the way. I know about WWII in North Africa and would thoroughly recommend for anyone with an interest in history to do this tour.” - Reviewed at 2024-11-05

Discover the Mystical Siwa Oasis

After a day steeped in history, let the allure of the Siwa Oasis captivate your senses. This hidden gem, nestled amidst the vast desert, offers a stark contrast to the bustling city life. Join the Siwa Oasis Adventure, a three-day journey that begins at 6:00 AM, whisking you away from Cairo to the serene landscapes of Siwa. Here, the Siwan community welcomes you with open arms, sharing their unique culture and traditions. As you wander through the oasis, the vibrant colors of traditional Siwan attire and the intricate silver jewelry catch your eye, offering a glimpse into a world untouched by time.

“Experience above expectations - Experience above all expectations. We left Cairo for El Alamein, visited the World War II museum and had lunch in a non-tourist place. From there, we reached Siwa, staying in an ecolodge in the heart of the oasis. We discovered a part of authentic Egypt that we really wanted to visit, away from the classic tourist routes and Resorts. The tour was complete. We saw the desert as in a postcard, went on jeep safari and enjoyed tea in the desert at sunset. The colors were beautiful and we really felt in a group of friends, all in peace and security. Our Guide Aladdin and our driver Ehab, were very detailed in their explanations and on time. We recommend our Aladdin Guide for his preparation and competence and ability to speak many languages. He was very comprehensive in the historical explanation of the tour. We recommend our driver Ehab for patience and good Guide. The trip was very comfortable. We took a dip in the local culture and recommend this tour operator to discover Egypt.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-28

Here, the azure waters invite you to unwind and soak in the tranquility of the moment. Whether you’re sipping tea at a local café or simply enjoying the view, the serene atmosphere of El-Alamein offers a respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

This weekend, let the historical wonders and natural beauty of El-Alamein guide you on a path of discovery and relaxation. With each step, you’ll find yourself drawn deeper into the heart of Egypt, where the past and present coexist in perfect harmony.
