El Alamein is a small Egyptian town that played a huge role in World War II. It was the site of two major battles between the British and German armies, the first in October 1942 and the second in November 1942. These battles turned the tide of the war in the Allies' favor. Today, El Alamein is a quiet town with a few interesting sights, including the El Alamein War Cemetery, which is home to the graves of more than 7,000 Allied soldiers who died in the battles.
