El Alamein

join us on a 12 day tour to pay your respects to the many soldiers of the ANZACs and British army that gave their lives fighting in the harsh conditions of Northern Africa during the desert campaign of WWII as well as taking in all the key sights of Egypt. From tomb strewn Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, felucca sailing on the Nile and the epic Pyramids of Giza as well as touring Mediterranean Alexandria and the Commonwealth War Graves of El Alamein.

Commemorate the battle of El Alamein where two extended battles were fought during World War II. The first began on the 1st July 1942 and lasted for 27 days, it ended as a stalemate. After 3 months of holding the defences the Allies launched a second attack which lasted for 13 days. This saw the Allied forces (including British, Australian and New Zealand soldiers) push back the Axis powers for ultimate defeat in Tunisia. Some 13,000 Allied soldiers were killed and 70,000 were wounded in the battle.
