What makes El Alamein Battlefield Tours from Cairo Visit the Second World War Cemeteries a unique experience ?
The museum is located in the city of El Alamein on Egypt’s North West Coast on the Mediterranean sea. 1.6 km away from the city of Alexandria, witnessing one of the most important battles of the WWII in October 1942 between the Allies and Axis .
The Allies chose this region while retreating to their defensive line in El Alamein for its important natural geo-position. Its north border is the Mediterranean Sea and from the south by the Qattara Depression. Egypt helped the Allied forces to defeat the Axis and chase them out of Egypt and in burying the causalities. Many countries come to visit their beloved on 23rd October of each year.
Battle of El Alamein (23 October – 11 November 1942) was a battle of the Second World War that took place near the Egyptian railway halt of El Alamein. The First Battle of El Alamein and the Battle of Alam el Halfa had prevented the Axis from advancing further into Egypt.
In August 1942, General Claude Auchinleck had been sacked as Commander-in-Chief Middle East Command and his successor, Lieutenant-General William Gott was killed on his way to replace him as commander of the Eighth Army. Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery was appointed and led the Eighth Army offensive.
The Allied victory was the beginning of the end of the Western Desert Campaign, eliminating the Axis threat to Egypt, the Suez Canal and the Middle Eastern and Persian oil fields. The battle revived the morale of the Allies, being the first big success against the Axis since Operation Crusader in late 1941. The battle coincided with the Allied invasion of French North Africa in Operation Torch on 8 November, the Battle of Stalingrad and the Guadalcanal Campaign.
