MUSEUM
Read moreThe museum is located next to the Commonwealth Cemetery. It displays collections of weapons, uniforms of both armies, as well as guns and documents relating to the battle. Models reconstruct the evolution of the fighting from 23 October to 4 November 1942. It's all very moving.
The museum consists of five rooms. The first, called the "common room", contains glass boxes containing items from all the countries that took part in the Battle of El-Alamein. Life-size statues of the main players in this battle are on display. In the middle of the room there is a huge wooden table on which a map of the battlefield is drawn up, with the positions of the armies.
The 4 others are each dedicated to one of the countries involved in these battles, Egypt, England, Germany and Italy.
Outside the building is exposed the large military equipment: tanks, heavy artillery, vehicles ...

NECROPOLIS OF MARINA AL ALAMEIN
Read moreAbout a hundred tombs, including four underground ones, of great architectural beauty make up this funerary site. Some of the outer tombs have retained their elegant pillars, allowing archaeologists to learn more about the funerary rites of Alexandria. It is also known that the choice of burial was linked to the social status of the deceased and that children and adults received the same funeral treatment (burial, mummification, etc.)

OASIS MUSEUM
Read moreMahmoud Eed, a Bedouin artist from Bawiti, presents traditional handicrafts and makes naive figurines. Inspired by the artist Badr from Sarafra, he shapes clay to represent life in the oasis. Dioramas about the region are also on display. A visit to his museum takes no more than 10 minutes. It is free, but if you want to leave something, or even buy a piece of work (the handmade silver jewellery could be a very nice souvenir gift) it will undoubtedly please him.

MOUSAWAQA NECROPOLIS
Read moreA collection of 300 rock tombs from the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The themes are typical of Egyptian tombs: offerings, encounters between the deceased and deities. But the style is freer, and the human figures are more Roman. Little visited, protected from the sun, the frescoes still possess their pictorial freshness. The most spectacular tombs are those of Petosiris, a royal official, and Petoubastis, another oasis official; the second tomb, less decorated, has an elaborate and remarkable zodiac.
