    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)

    Amazing museum, very awesome collection, lots to see. It’s very historical and monumental. It has the graveyards very close by, it’s definitely worth the trip. Especially if you enjoy history and weaponry, as well as world war 2. The museum is very well kept and preserved. I would recommend visiting this museum and the surrounding areas.

    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.

    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.

    The museum and its surroundings are well-maintained and show a very good job in all kind of aspects of the war fought here. The guides give a thorough explanation. If you have any interest World War II and respect for the deceased make sure to visit this. After the visit you're able to have a drink in the on-site cafe.

    A well arranged and organized exposition. Explanatory panels in both English and Arab make it easier for foreigners to understand the world and local situation at the time. Thanks for the good job.

    Worth a visit, ticket price was 100 pounds when we visited and worth the price. Good exterior display and museum inside was also good. Staff were friendly. There's a cafe on-site and it is easy to park on the road outside the museum.

    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.

    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.

    It‘s a nice little museum, reasonably priced (150 LE for foreigners) with indoor and outdoor displays. Photo permission is 50 LE extra. On the downside: Vehicles are mostly wrecked, uniformly repainted and sometimes labeled inaccurately: the Sherman with AMX turret for example is not a WW2 vehicle. There are no German tanks, no Mathildas - but if you happen to be there it’s worth a visit!

    Very interesting museum about the desert war in North Africa and the two 1942 battles of El Alamein at a truly historic site. In the well-maintained outside area there is an extensive collection of Axis and Allied armoured vehicles, lorries and guns. Many vehicles show extensive damage, but there are no plaques which tell you if the machines have participated in the war or if they were used as range targets. The exception is a Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk airplane which has been found in the desert to be beautifully restored. The building itself consists of five halls concentrating on the individual belligerent parties – showing maps, uniforms, small arms and various objects. Some of the English texts contain errors and typos and could need some overhaul, but the museum is a must-see nonetheless if you are staying in the area. The staff are very friendly and the tickets are at a moderate price. Also the Allied War Cemetery is very close and definitely worth a visit.

    Awesome rare pieces of the second world war, a lot of real weapons and personal belongings of both Axis and Allies, you need at least 3 hrs for such a tour .... it was an amazing day ... a must for every history WWII lover ... the drawback is that there are no guided tours or Audio guide .. u need to read the labels and signs then search on the internet

    It's one of the rarely museums that show the second world War, especially the past of the alamen prattle Nice museum and colorful, full of war time things

  • 1/5 M S. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely not worth the long journey from Alexandria or Cairo. I think Egypt realizes it's one of their only historical sites tourists come to see so they recently redid it but the museum can be seen in under an hour if you read every little description (which is poorly translated from Arabic to English). It's a shame to see the coastline over developed and completely demolished too. Soon the cemeteries will be surrounded by Four Seasons and Hilton Hotels.

    (Translated by Google) The Military Museum of El Alamein is immortalizing one of the most important battles that precipitated the end of the Second World War, which was the battle of El Alamein between the Allied Forces and Nazi Germany in 1942. The El Alamein Military Museum, which is affiliated with the Military Museum Department of the Egyptian Ministry of Defense, is one of the most important archaeological military monuments, which embody and perpetuate the battle of El Alamein, which ended with the victory of the Allied countries over the Axis countries, and was the main reason for the end of the Second World War that took place in many countries of the world and died. Millions of dead and tens of millions of injured and missing in various countries of the world. El Alamein Museum website The El-Alamein Museum is located at km 105 on the Alexandria-Matrouh road, south of the coastal road, and is about 300 km from Cairo. It includes a group of weapons, armored vehicles and figures that express El Alamein battles and the forces that participated in them, as well as maps of the course of the battles, and some private holdings Commanders of armies. Allied countries had chosen this region during its retreat, to be a defensive line because of its important natural phenomena as it is bordered on the north by the Mediterranean and the low-Qatara south, and the Allied forces, with Egypt's help, were able to defeat the Axis forces and drive them out of Egypt, and thousands of battle dead were buried Of the soldiers of the warring countries, tombs were erected for them and the region became a tourist attraction, which comes to it from officials and citizens of the countries of the world, on October 23 of each year on the anniversary of the Battle of El Alamein, and visitors to the region, especially foreigners, are keen to visit the El Alamein Military Museum (Original) يخلد متحف العلمين العسكرى معركة من أهم المعارك التي عجلت بنهاية الحرب العالمية الثانية، وهي معركة العلمين التى دارت رحاها بين قوات الحلفاء، وألمانيا النازية عام 1942. ويعد متحف العلمين العسكري، التابع لإدارة المتاحف العسكرية بوزارة الدفاع المصرية، من أهم الصروح الأثرية العسكرية، التي تجسد وتخلد معركة العلمين التي انتهت بانتصار دول الحلفاء على دول المحور، وكانت السبب الرئيسي لنهاية الحرب العالمية الثانية التي دارت رحاها في العديد من دول العالم وراح ضحيتها ملايين القتلى وعشرات الملايين من المصابين والمفقودين في مختلف دول العالم. موقع متحف العلمين يقع متحف العلمين عند الكيلو 105 على طريق الإسكندرية- مطروح، جنوبي الطريق الساحلي، ويبعد نحو 300 كيلو متر عن القاهرة، ويضم مجموعة من الأسلحة والمدرعات والمجسمات التي تعبر عن معارك العلمين والقوات التي اشتركت فيها، كما تضم خرائط عن سير المعارك، وبعض المقتنيات الخاصة بقادة الجيوش. كانت دول الحلفاء قد اختارت هذه المنطقة أثناء تقهقرها، لتكون خطاً دفاعياً لما تتمتع به من ظواهر طبيعية هامة حيث يحدها من الشمال البحر المتوسط ومن الجنوب منخفض القطارة، واستطاعت قوات الحلفاء بمساعدة مصر، أن تهزم قوات المحور وتطردهم خارج مصر، وتم دفن آلاف قتلى المعركة من جنود الدول المتحاربة، وأقيمت لهم مقابر وأصبحت المنطقة مزاراً سياحياً، يأتي إليه من مسئولي ومواطني دول العالم، فى 23 أكتوبر من كل عام في ذكرى معركة العلمين، ويحرص زوار المنطقة خاصة الأجانب على زيارة متحف العلمين العسكري

😐 3 stars are fair enough for this place! The bathroom is the WORST bathroom I have ever seen in my life!!! SO BAAAD!! I was surprised when I get in! I believe they have enough money to make a nice bathroom for their guests! But the beach is clean and there is a foam party everyday and Dj.
