A fascinating insight into a very important theatre of war, one our parents were involved in so very much of interest to us. The museum was excellent both inside and outside.

A must see if you are close. Enjoyed the experience and the staff there were very nice, welcoming and hospitable. You will need around 30-45 minutes to cover the exhibits. Very affordable entry prices for Egyptians compared to non Egyptians (40 EGP for Egyptians and 200 EGP for non Egyptians)

This is a very good El Alamein World War II military history museium. The place has indor exhibition galleries of various military gear, guns, and other items. There are also outdoor exhibits of various military hardware. The only complaint that I have is some of the floor tiles of indoor exhibit galleries are loose and unstable. You might want to be somewhat careful when walking in the galleries.

A piece of IIWW History in Egypt. A guide explains briefly about the Battle. He also leaves you on your own. There are some original flags and some material that They found during the years. The one thing that You should be aware is the long distance till German and Italian cementery. British and Greek both are close, easy to reach on feet.

One of the most interesting and organised military museum I have ever visit usually I feel boring from such this kind of museum but this one is really different and attracted you to know every thing with all details about the famous Battle of Alameen. There is tour guide available and for free with wide knowledge and explain every thing to you by simple way make your visit more valuable Beside the internal show room there is external garden full with War machines ( remains from Alamin Battle) It's highly recommended to visit for the family.

Amazing place. Really nice with lots of information. I advise going early and doing the bit outside first before it gets too hot. All.of the vehicles and planes are outside. There are 5 different halls in the air conditioned museum. Each one is dedicated to a different side in the battle There are also documentaries you can watch, in several different languages, just ask the attendant and they will change the audio for you.
