The third-largest sand accumulation in the world (a sand dune the size of England) spans more than 600 kilometers forming a natural barrier between Libya and Egypt.

4WD madness in the sand! Big dunes, fossil beds, sand boarding, sunset fire and tea! Also a hot springs stop. Good times! You might get a little car sick so be prepared. Our tour ended at a hot spring for dinner near town. Only thing is it’s always a dudefest so ladies, bring something modest because, Egypt.

EL ALAMEIN WAR CEMETERY contains the graves of men who died at all stages of the Western Desert campaigns, brought in from a wide area, but especially those who died in the Battle of El Alamein at the end of October 1942 and in the period immediately before that. The cemetery now contains 7,240 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, of which 815 are unidentified. There are also 102 war graves of other nationalities. The ALAMEIN CREMATION MEMORIAL, which stands in the south-eastern part of El Alamein War Cemetery, commemorates more than 600 men whose remains were cremated in Egypt and Libya during the war, in accordance with their faith. The entrance to the cemetery is formed by the ALAMEIN MEMORIAL. The Land Forces panels commemorate more than 8,500 soldiers of the Commonwealth who died in the campaigns in Egypt and Libya, and in the operations of the Eighth Army in Tunisia up to 19 February 1943, who have no known grave. It also commemorates those who served and died in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Persia. The Air Forces panels commemorate more than 3,000 airmen of the Commonwealth who died in the campaigns in Egypt, Libya, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Greece, Crete and the Aegean, Ethiopia, Eritrea and the Somalilands, the Sudan, East Africa, Aden and Madagascar, who have no known grave.

Whilst in Alexandria we were taken here on our tour, it was a very moving experience with a lovely Australian Memorial built here with the graves of many Australians who lost their lives in the battle of El Alamein. Hundreds of graves here and a big section of Australians. The cemetary is quite well kept, even though its in the middle of sandy desert, with a bit of greenery in between the graves. Well worth a visit if you are in the area. Security was high and we were well looked after.

We visited here as part of our tour with Webjet and I am glad we did. It gave us quite a bit of history as well as terrific displays within the museum as well as quite a few vehicle exhibits in the grounds outside of the museum. It was so interesting seeing all the vehicles that were used in World War II as well as a Kitty Hawk aircraft that was discovered only in 2012 when an oil exploration company work found it in a remote desert in the area. Would definitely recommend if you are in Alexandria...it is about one and a half hours west of Alexandria.
