Highlights
We have often pointed out different tours you should do during your visit to Alexandria. But rarely stopped to think that some of you do not have plans to visit El Alamin area. We recommend you do a day trip to El Alamein. Located about 110 km from Alexandria where you can meet among others the remains and cemeteries of World War II. At this spot November 1942 when allied forces under the command of the British General Montgomery put halt to the advance of Nazi Africa corps who considered Al Alamin area to be the key of controlling African continent . Allied victory in El Alamein battle marked the beginning of the end for the Axis power through the part of North Africa, crushing the mystique that surround the German “Desert fox “ known as Marshal Rommel . So El Alamein battle considered one of the most violent and most important confrontations during the Second World War.

About Alexandria
Alexandria, Egypt's Mediterranean port, was founded by Alexander the Great and holds Roman ruins, a harbour fort and a modern library by the sea.
Alexander the Great founded the city in 331 BC, and for centuries it was the capital of Ptolemaic Egypt, with a great library and the Pharos, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. The lighthouse fell to earthquakes, and the Citadel of Qaitbay, a fifteenth-century fort on its site, now guards the harbour mouth. The Corniche runs for miles along the bay in front of tall, weather-worn apartment blocks.
Top-ranked sights in Alexandria: Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, Roman Amphitheatre, Citadel of Qaitbay (Fort Qaitbey).
