El Alamein, on Egypt’s Mediterranean coast about two hours west of Alexandria, is best known as the site of the decisive World War II battles of 1942 — a turning point of the war in North Africa. Today the town preserves that history in its Military Museum and the Commonwealth, German, and Italian war cemeteries, while the surrounding North Coast (known locally as “El Sahel”) draws summer visitors with white-sand beaches and the modern resorts of New Alamein City. At Egypt Best Vacations we cover El Alamein with day tours and transfers.

Hubby and I have wanted to visit Egypt for ages but did not want to go as part of a large group. Found Egypt Best Vacations on Facebook and was impressed with the range of options available. We wanted to see as much of Egypt as possible and Egypt Best Vacations was great at helping us book the most suitable holiday for us at a reasonable price.

Great tour. Our guide Essam was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and articulated the tour well. Offering our group good advice on how to customize our tour based on our interests. He was sure to warn us on all potential scams aswell as unnecessary/non affiliated persons. He also went above by making our restaurant reservations for us.
We enjoyed our Egypt travels through Egypt Best Vacations. Essam is the best tour coordinator and guide one can find! I am so glad we found him because he made our trip memorable in so many ways! He was always able to make the tours fun by telling us stories of the past in engaging ways! He was always helpful and gave us honest guidance regarding all local experiences eg. How to behave with street vendors. You felt you could trust him and rely on him fully through the travel!
El Alamein was the site of two pivotal World War II battles in 1942. The Second Battle of El Alamein (October–November 1942) was a decisive Allied victory that halted the Axis advance toward the Suez Canal and is widely regarded as a turning point of the war.
Most travellers visit on a day trip from Alexandria (about two hours away) or from Cairo, often combined with Alexandria’s sights. A guided private tour with transport is the most convenient way to see the museum and cemeteries.
A half-day, around four to five hours, is usually enough to see the Military Museum and the main war cemeteries. Add more time if you want to combine it with the beaches or Alexandria.
Yes. The North Coast around El Alamein is famous for white-sand beaches and clear turquoise water, and New Alamein City has added modern resorts, a seafront corniche, and beach clubs, making it a popular summer destination.
