El Alamein: A Quiet Day That Stayed With Me
Travel Notes & Reflections – Spring 2025
I’ve explored many parts of Egypt, but visiting El Alamein was something I had long wanted to do. The drive from Alexandria alone was worth the journey—open, coastal, and almost completely deserted. That silence set the tone for the day.
There’s something deeply moving about standing in a place so marked by history, yet so peaceful in the present. The breeze, the vastness, the sense that time has softened what once was unimaginable… It’s not a place that asks for much—it just stays with you.
This wasn’t a typical tourist stop. It was a personal one. And one of the most memorable days of my time in Egypt.
