Shore Excursion : World War II Cemeteries in El Alamein from Alexandria Port

When your cruise ship is in Alexandria port, meet your qualified Egyptologist guide at the cruise terminal in the morning. Then, set off on your private tour of sites associated with the El Alamein campaign of WWII. Your tour includes a welcome drink and lunch at a local restaurant during your sightseeing.

Settle inside your private, air-conditioned minivan and as you travel, hear fascinating facts about the battles of El Alamein, fought in northern Egypt during 1942. It was here that British and Commonwealth forces under the command of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery halted the advance of General Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps: a decisive victory that ultimately led to the surrender of the German forces in May 1943.

Visit the El Alamein Military Museum to chart the two major battles during 1942, and see the military equipment used in both, including tanks, guns, armored vehicles, maps, and uniforms. Explore the halls dedicated to each country involved in the war
