Alamein Full Day Tour From Alexandria

Our driver Ahmed was wonderful. He arrived early for our pickup and we felt very safe with his driving. He took very good care of us , making sure we went in all the right entrances and knew about all the museums. This was very important as we did not have a guide. We did not feel we needed one as there was information at each stop.

Rasha arranged for Hany the driver to take me directly to Alamein. I was picked up at my hotel at 8am sharp - the journey was just under 2 hours (there was congestion in the road); we stopped briefly for a coffee and then went to the German memorial at Alamein which is impressive but sobering - a guard calls a keyholder to allow entry. Then I visited the War Museum where I spent between one and two hours - there is a mixture of indoor and outdoor displays - I found the legends (all translated into English) informative and balanced. There is a small charge for this) Egp 350 in cash. Finally I visited the nearby Commonwealth Cemetery - which is a sombre experience. All of the sites were exceedingly quiet but well looked after. I returned to my hotel in Alexandria by 2pm (a quicker journey of just over an hour as there were no hold ups). Everything was well organised - Hany was helpful and pleasant.

Amazing tour! Karim was fantastic. A must do.

We had a really great and informative trip with the help of Karim and Heba. Even though we had not booked in advance, Karim Bent over backwards to arrange a guide for the next day. Heba was knowledgeable and patient and took us to all the major sites, which were beautifully kept and very moving. A real highlight is the beautiful Italian memorial , which is a really incredible piece of 1950s architecture, spare and light and peaceful.

Heba was extremely informative and friendly throughout the whole tour. She allowed me to take as much time as I wanted at each stop and there was never any pressure to “stop and shop” like I have often come across on tours. Also, Assam, the driver, always made the drive feel comfortable and safe.

Very informative and you are given as much time as you want at each stop. Unlike other tours, you are not pressured into visiting perfume shops, etc., although the offer of a delicious ice cream, which Reba, the guide offered to pay for, was an added bonus. Also, Assam the driver, always made me feel safe on the long trip.

Kareem made the experience very easy for us. We were a group of three and he made sure we had a suitable car for the journey. He picked us up on time and clearly explained the itinerary for the day. Activities were well paced and he was very knowable about all the sites. The driver was very good too. All in all a good day!

It was a very informative trip, visiting the German, Italian and commonwealth war cemeteries and the museum. The guide, Karim, was very knowledgeable and the driver was kind and safe.

This was a special trip for my son and I,we had the opportunity to visit the grave of my great uncle who was buried in the Commonwealth cemetery at El Alamein. Our guide Karim was very knowledgeable ,very easy to get along with and understood our specific requirements to spend as much time as possible at the Commonwealth cemetery. It was an emotional visit for us and Karim was highly respectful of this. His communication was superb and I would highly recommend him as a tour guide.

Perfect in every way. Wonderful guide and driver. It was a great day out and very moving. I learnt so much about the sacrifice made during World War 2 by so many young and brave men.

We loved it with our guide in Alexandria, so we also decided On spending one more day in Alamein, which is a nice destination if you are a history buff , or have interest to see military museums & the Commonwealth graveyard in Egypt. We also loved seeing all the modern construction being built along the way of the new City of ElAlamein.

A great tour. Rasha keeps in touch with me with all the latest information before the trip. During the trip, it was enjoyable and informative. Rasha & karim were punctual and gave many tips after the trip as well. Fast response and easy to communicate. I highly recommend taking the tour with this great team.

We really enjoyed all aspects of the tour. Starting with being picked up from our hotel, being on the road to the Alamein, enjoying the vast construction & the new city being built along the way. We spent enough time exploring around, enjoying our interests. The military museum & the Commonwealth cemetary were very interesting to us.Thanks for Karim & Rasha for arranging such a tour for us.

All aspects of the tour were great. From booking through to me arriving in Alexandria, communication was great. Very well organised. Rasha was my guide, and she took me to all the places I was interested in. Didnt spend a lot of time explaining things to me, as she realised I had a fairly good knowledge of the history of the war here. My Dad actually fought here and Tobruk. So she just gave me enough information, and let me do my own thing. Which I liked. I had 3 graves to search for at the Allies cementry, and Rasha arranged with one of the workers to help me find the graves. All 3 were found.

My visit to El Alamein was important, as my father was twice wounded there in 1942, so it was important that our guides were empathetic and obviously patient. My wife and I couldn't have asked for more, as Rasha and Karim were great all day. It turned out to be a perfect mix of emotion, seriousness, fun and variety and I have no doubt Rasha and Karim's care and knowledge made it such a lovely day. They certainly went above and beyond our expectations and we felt their friendship made it a day we will always remember fondly. Absolutely recommended.

We had an amazing day touring Alamein. My husband is a history buff & this was his day!. We set the pace for how long to visit each area. Sometimes we had to sit still and reflect on the history of this place & we were honestly never rushed. It was fun touring with Rasha & Karim & had stories to share. We could not have done this without their help. Don't miss that if you are visiting Alexandria.

My guide, Heba was great. Friendly, thoughtful, fun and well spoken and full of information. She even had toilet paper for me (The Museum had clean bathrooms but no TP).

my guide Heba and my driver Tarik were very welcoming and friendly. Heba was smart, funny and full of information about our destinations. Her English was the best I encountered in all of Alex and she took her studies seriously. I would gladly spend another day being guided by Heba!

Heading to this destination was not on our list, but Thanks to Rasha & kareem, we were able to see this place, which covers a long history related the spot where the second world war took place in Egypt.Thanks to this diligent team for giving us the chance to see El-Alamein. A tour that would be of an interest to war history lovers. thanks again for a wonderful day.

I loved my Tour with Rasha & Kareem. Rasha was so responsive to all my previous requests to the tour. They were both of a great help. Thank you both for taking me around the must see spots in the town of El Alamein. The military museum was such a thing to see. Thank you both for a lovely trip. Highly recommended

My driver and guide, Karim was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions and gave me lots of interesting facts about the museum exhibits. Karim gave me time to wander through the war cemetery by myself , while keeping a distant eye on me. I really enjoyed my trip to El Alemein and would highly recommend it .

That was a nice tour for those who would love to see the place where WW2 and especially the Alamein battle took place in Egypt. Thanks Rasha & Karim for a nice tour. A nice friendly diligent team who I would personally support & recommend.

This was a great day trip. Karim was a friendly and informative driver/guide. I will definitely be recommending him to friends and colleagues. Thanks Karim!

Kareem and his driver were excellent and professional. They have us a detailed tour and tailored it to our requests/needs. They were very informative.

It is a very interesting visite the military cemeteries, especially the English cemetery are impressive my guide was very friendly and spoke good French. it gives interesting historical details the military museum is worth a look. they put a lot of things recovered in the desert including very recently a p40 in great condition. if you are interested in history I recommend this visit.

I really enjoyed exploring El Alamein with Karim. He is very professional and knows a lot about the area! The trip went smoothly right from the beginning and I learned a lot about the battle of El Alamein while visiting the museum and the Commonwealth, German and Italian cemeteries. Karim speaks excellent English, loves meeting new people and has a fun and bubbly personality that is perfectly suited for a tour guide. You will enjoy your time with him!

Had the fortunate experience of having Karin as my tour guide to Alamein today. He was very knowledgeable, and personable. Nice guy. Our trip went as planned, I was so impressed with his knowledge and ability to answer my questions. Not just about Alamein, but of the history of Egypt, especially the 20th century. We were attended by an Egyptian soldier at the Museum. He really impressed me with his knowledge. I was in awe of the Allied Cemetery, I had a similar feeling while visiting Normandy Beach. This tour is a must, especially if you had family fighting during the two battles. Well worth the effort and money.

Rasha was just what we needed to get a great experience in Alezandria. The information was very good and the spots the best of the city. She is very friendly and honest guide. We could not have asked for more throughout our experience. Would certainly recommend her services for future friends and travellers as she offers the right attributes for people seeking a safe and quality oriented experience Thank you E. Min and M. Essafi

We booked this trip ahead of arriving in Alexandria. Our guide Karim collected us from our hotel bang on the agreed time. He speakes excellent English and is very knowledgable on all of teh local sites and history. We visited the CWGC cemetery as part f a personal pilgramige and also the War Museum opposite. On the way back Karim took us to a local and authentic restraunt where we had a very tasty lunch surrounded by freindly locals. I would thoroughly recommend.

This trip was booked prior to our arrival in country. Karim arrived punctually with his modern vehicle. He speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable. Drive to Alamein is approx 1hr. We spent around 2 hours at the allied war cemetery before going to the war museum which is virtually accross the road and thoroughly recommended.

Very happy I did this tour. I really loved all what I saw the museum and graveyards. Rasha showed me around and she was attententive, informative and kind. Thanks Rasha. I highly recommend this tour.

The day was just perfect from the beginning especially with timing and planning for the day. Along the way, I was given information about what happened on the site of Alamein and WW2 battles related to the site . At every place we stopped at I was given enough time to see what I want . A place of special significance . I am happy I did this tour & would recommend this guide to others.
