El
Alamein is most notable as the place where the Allied forces of WW
II gained a decisive victory of the Axis forces. Today, the village
located about 66 miles east of Alexandria is mostly a port facility
for shipping oil. However, it was once described by Churchill as having
the best climate in the world. There are several hotels and a beach
resort nearby (Hotel Atic). |

There
is also a war museum with collectibles from the Battle of El Alamein
and other North African battles. The only historical interest in this
village would be related to WW II, and includes an Italian and German
military cemeteries on Tell el-Eisa Hill just outside of town
