Moving memorials near New Alamein where soldiers of many nations who fell in the decisive battles of 1942 lie in quiet, dignified rows overlooking the Mediterranean.نُصُبٌ مؤثّرة قرب نيو العلمين حيث يرقد جنودٌ من أممٍ كثيرة سقطوا في معارك 1942 الحاسمة في صفوفٍ هادئة مهيبة تطلّ على المتوسّط.
Long before the towers of New Alamein rose, the name El Alamein was known across the world — as the site of some of the most decisive battles of the Second World War. Today, near the gleaming new city, a series of moving war cemeteries and memorials honour the soldiers of many nations who fell here in 1942. Quiet, dignified, and overlooking the sea, they are among the most powerful and reflective places on Egypt's North Coast.
قبل أن ترتفع أبراج نيو العلمين بزمنٍ طويل، كان اسم العلمين معروفًا في أنحاء العالم — موقعًا لبعض أكثر معارك الحرب العالمية الثانية حسمًا. واليوم، قرب المدينة الجديدة المتلألئة، تكرّم سلسلةٌ من مقابر الحرب والنُصُب المؤثّرة جنودًا من أممٍ كثيرة سقطوا هنا عام 1942. وهادئةً ومهيبةً ومطلّةً على البحر، هي من أكثر الأماكن تأثيرًا وتأمّلًا على الساحل الشمالي لمصر.
A Name Known to History · اسمٌ يعرفه التاريخ
A turning point of the war.نقطة تحوّلٍ في الحرب.
El Alamein was the site of the decisive battles of 1942, when Allied and Axis forces clashed in the Western Desert in a confrontation that helped turn the course of the Second World War in North Africa. Tens of thousands of soldiers from many nations fought and died across this stretch of desert and coast. The cemeteries and memorials here stand as a solemn reminder of the human cost of that history, in the very landscape where it unfolded.

Remembered side by side.يُذكَرون جنبًا إلى جنب.
Several cemeteries and memorials lie near El Alamein, each honouring the dead of different nations. The Commonwealth War Cemetery holds the graves and names of British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, Indian, and other Commonwealth troops, in orderly rows facing the sea. Nearby, the Italian memorial — a tall white structure overlooking the coast — and the more austere German cemetery remember their own fallen. Together they form a place of shared remembrance for soldiers of many countries.
