Tour Itinerary & Details

Day 1: El Alamein & Siwa Old Town (Shali)

Your Ramasside tour guide will be waiting for you upon departure holding a sign with the Ramasside logo—there is no need to look for them, as they will readily meet and greet you.

From the moment your trip begins, your guide will give you their undivided attention. During the drive, they will provide detailed historical insights and explain key highlights of the itinerary. Begin your journey toward El Alamein to visit one of the major battlegrounds of World War II.
