I'm Rasha, a passionate licensed tour guide with years of experience in the field, who loves to show the beauty of her country to visitors from around the world. I am a pretty flexible person who loves to adjust tours according to my clients' needs, and I have worked with different travel agencies as well. I believe that I definitely have the power to personally show how much I love what I do. With the support of ToursByLocals, I have the ability to perform my tours in a way that most travel companies don't usually allow for. You could say that I choose to deliver tours through my perspective, taking into account all the major sightseeing spots, but also adding my personal taste for the experience to " live like a local". This way I not only provide knowledge, but also joy to my clients. I can offer my tours in both English and German. I make sure that my clients are satisfied with my tours and I am quite flexible to add or change itineraries according to my client's convenience. I believe to be good photographer too! I will be happy to live this experience with you! I am a Licensed Professional Tour Guide since 2008 I'm a member of the EGTGS ( Egyptian Tour Guide Syndicate) I studied Tourism in Alexandria university, Egypt, with some other minors in Tour Guiding and a major in English literature. I'm not a guide-driver, I can join you in your vehicle or arrange for a car + driver to get us around. Apart from that, I don't have specific restrictions, I'll be happy to help you navigate Egypt and see whatever is possible within the tours we take.

Fought near the western frontier of Egypt between October 23rd and November 4th 1942, EL- Alamein was the climax and turning point of the North African campaign in the Second World War (1939-45). The Axis powers of Italy and Germany suffered a decisive defeat by the British Eighth Army. Drive away from the city of Alexandria 130 KM to the west, to a very nice destination to visit. This place is vastly informative for visitors who are interested in the history of WW2 and the famous battle of Alamein that took place in Egypt in 1942, which lasted for months, leaving behind a huge collection of displays that were found around in the desert & all collected to be displayed in the military museum of Alamein. Visiting this area will let us remember how people sacrifice their life for others to live. A truly special spot to visit if you are a history lover!
Racha's knowledge of the history of the area was extensive and enabled us to gain real insights into the role of Aussie and Kiwi soldiers in the Al Alamein theatre. We appreciated her also including time seeing new Al Alamein, because of my professional interest as well as the historic town to gain a perspective on the difference. Our driver, Hemy was very professional and careful.
We had a very nice day with Rasha. My mother heard about El Alamein when she was a child and wanted to see the battlefield, memorials and museum. While the interior of the museum was suffering from a power outage, we could tour the outdoor area easily as well as viewing the German memorial and the cemetary. Rasha and her driver were very kind with my mother who moves with some diffuculty but still likes to get out ans see things. A good day!
This was an interesting tour, partly, of course, by the visit to the Alamein' mixed hall commemorating the participants of the battle with many items of memorabilia and the German, Italian and Allied memorials. Rasha is a knowledgable guide and of particular interest was her insight into the area surrounding Alamein ~(now a major area of redevelopment in ~Egypt) as well as the extensive costal areas between Alexandria and the battlefield. All in all a most enjoyable and interesting tour.
Pickup from your Hotel in Alexandria & drive for around 2 hours to arrive to the El-Alamein Battlefield Area. -Visit the Alamein museum for around an hour, where we'll be able to see the following halls: -The Mixed hall (it has exhibits from the 12 countries, which participated in the battle) -Germany hall (it exhibits among others; models of various weapons, photos of pilots taking part in the battle & others) -Italy hall (photos of Italian soldiers, weapons, Italian field access road juncture, among other displays) -Great Britain hall (statue & pictures of Montgomery, flag of the British 7th Armour division & other displays) -Egyptian army hall (models of Egyptian army weapons, Egyptian uniforms of guarders & infantrymen plus other displays) -After our museum visit, we will go to the Commonwealth cemetery. -Next, we will visit the Italian Cemetery. -Our final stop will be the German Cemetery. -After this we will drive back to your drop off point in Alexandria.
