We first pass El Alamein. Important World War II battles were fought in this area during the battles for North Africa.  Even I have heard of Erwin Rommel, the Desert Fox. The British Commonwealth Cemetery and War Museum are located directly behind the gas station. 

No time to visit this or other World War II landmarks located a short distance from town. Fact: 20 million land mines are still buried in Egypt's Western Desert and even though the Egyptian Government fences off what they can, the desert sands constantly shift! What a frightening thought!
