Things to do in El Alamain International Airport
Al Alamein Airport serves Egypt's Mediterranean coast and the site of two decisive 1942 World War II battles where Montgomery's Eighth Army halted Rommel's Afrika Korps advance. The El Alamein War Museum documents both sides of the campaign with weaponry, maps, and personal accounts. The Allied, German, and Italian Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries are immaculately maintained and profoundly moving sites in the desert. The surrounding Mediterranean coastline is also a popular summer beach destination for Egyptians.
