Memorial, as well as cemeteries, and landmarks reminiscent of this important part of the town
history. What's not to forget is that El-Alamein was also once described by Churchill himself as
having the best climate in the world! It has thus normally become the favorite sun and sand
upscale destination of Egyptian tourists on the White Med, and foreigners are following the trend
and invading the upscale resorts that are growing like mushrooms on this stretch of coastal
paradise.
