El Alamein WWII Private Day Tour from Alexandria Port

El Alamein WWII Private Day Tour from Alexandria Port
For KrisFlyer members only
Highlights
While most cruise excursions head for the pyramids, this one tells a different Egyptian story, the one written in the desert in 1942.
About 100 km west of Alexandria, El Alamein was where the Allies turned back Rommel's advance in one of World War II's decisive battles. Your guide takes you to the El Alamein War Museum, with its tanks, uniforms, and maps laying out the campaign, and to the war cemeteries where thousands of soldiers from both sides rest in the quiet desert. It is a reflective day rather than a sightseeing rush.
Door-to-door transfers from the port and lunch are included, timed around your ship.
Ideal for history-minded cruise guests and anyone with a personal connection to the North African campaign.
Itinerary
Alexandria
3 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeYour guide and manager will be waiting for you outside the Cruise docking spot. They will be holding a sign showing your name. It will be quite easy for you to identify them. Then you will proceed to your vehicle and start your tour. your guide will talk to you not only about history of ancient Egypt, but also about modern Egypt, Life, religion, politics and all aspects of Life in the country.El Alamein War Museum
3 hoursAdmission Ticket IncludedAbout two hours west of Alexandria, the El Alamein War Museum lays out the 1942 battle that stopped the Axis advance toward the Suez Canal. You walk among tanks, field guns, and the uniforms of the British, German, Italian, and Egyptian forces, while your guide traces how the desert campaign unfolded across these dunes. Maps and dioramas make sense of a battle fought over open sand with almost no landmarks. It is a compact, well-kept museum that rewards an unhurried visit.El Alamein War Cemetery
1 hoursAdmission Ticket FreeNearby lie the war cemeteries, rows of headstones in the silent desert where soldiers of many nations were laid to rest. The Commonwealth cemetery alone holds more than 7,000 graves, each marked and tended, with separate German and Italian memorials not far off. Your guide gives space for this to land rather than narrating over it. Standing here, with nothing but sand and sky around, the scale of what happened in 1942 settles in. Many visitors find this the most affecting part of the day.
