Abstract

Within the context of the 100th anniversary of World War I, this paper sheds light on an ignored part of the cultural heritage of Alexandria, which are the cemeteries of First World War. Unfortunately, few studies dealt with the role-played by Alexandria during that war.In addition, no research has been found that surveyed all the First World War cemeteries in the city. Therefore, this paper aimed to uncover the impact of this war on Alexandria, coupled with describing the Commonwealth, French and Turkish cemeteries of World War I in the city that is to provide the tour guides with the basic information. The conclusions highlighted the importance of raising the cultural heritage knowledge and awareness of the local community,in addition to the use of those heritage sites in flourishing the heritage tourism in Alexandria.
