Some great footage of the Italians training at Alamien. It looks like some of it is the Qattara Depression. Unless anyone recognises the location

The Alamein skyline has changed since I first visited in 2017. This is Tel El Eisa train stop, where we start the Alamein battlefield day.
These are the new Alamein Towers in the background, from our 2025 visit.
Come to see for yourself!

SAS 85 ANNIVERSARY
It's the 85th anniversary of the SAS this year.
Why don't you join our group for a trip 'Up the blue' to follow in the footsteps (Tyre tracks!) of these men and all other special forces that went from Cairo to Siwa Oasis. From here, they went on to do amazing things behind enemy lines, hundreds of miles into enemy territory. Called 'Pattuglia Fantasma' by the Italians, these 'Ghost Patrols' would come from nowhere, cause 'Bloody Mayhem' and return into the Desert Abyss!

Siwa Oasis is truly amazing to visit today, steeped in history, and visited by Alexander the Great in 331BCE. Dive into Cleopatra's pool just like the soldiers did in the war.

Our 10 day trip includes many classic ancient sites as well as the WW2 locations. Ending with an Ice Cold in Alex!

✅The El Alamein tour is very popular this year! I might even be going 3 times! Two of them are private tours for a single person. Of course they’ll get my one-to-one attention but they will miss out on the camaraderie, which is always been quite amazing on these adventures, as hopefully my guests will contest to!

In fact, I have a guest returning for the third time in October and he wants to come back a fourth time for Libya next year...!

I think I might have to give him a medal on the fourth trip! 🎖️
