El-Alamein, famous for the decisive Allied victory over the Axis powers in the North African campaign of World War II, lies halfway between Alexandria and Marsa Matrouh on Egypt’s northern coast. Today it is home to war memorials, the British, German and Italian memorials, as well as cemeteries and landmarks commemorating this important part of the city’s history. Battlefield of El-Alamein

Not to mention that El-Alamein was also once described by Churchill himself as having the best climate in the world! El-Alamein has therefore become one of the most popular sun and beach vacation destinations for Egyptian tourists on the White Sea, and foreigners are following the trend and crowding into the upscale resorts that are springing up like mushrooms on this paradisiacal stretch of coastline. Temperatures range from 22 to 30°C in the summer months, while the winter average is 17°C. In the Greek-Roman period, El-Alamein was known as âLocassisâ, meaning “the white shellâ€; it was so named because of its beautiful white sand beaches. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was worshipped there. Today you can sunbathe on the white sand beaches of El-Alamein in complete luxury. The relatively newly built international airport of El-Alamein has regular flights from the main European cities.
