The weather is your ally, with clear skies and a gentle breeze accompanying your every step.

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

“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
