The military museum of El Alamein

The El Alamein military museum is located in the town of El Alamein, on the road that connects Alexandria to Marsa Matrouh.

It is built inside the Italian Military Shrine and collects a series of objects found in the desert and dating back to the I and II battle of El Alamein.

Outside the building there are several military vehicles used by the armed forces who fought during the two conflicts.

The interior of the building is used for storing weapons, uniforms and any other objects found in the desert.

The military shrine that houses the structure was erected, between 1954 and 1958, in the area occupied by the Italian cemetery and preserves the remains of about 5,200 Italian soldiers.

The shrine and the annexed museum are visited every year by numerous tourists, especially Italians and Germans.
