Assistant Learning & Development Manager

Rixos Alamein is a modern, luxury resort that boasts a prime position on the unspoilt, northern Mediterranean coast. This beautiful resort is a splash of colour against the backdrop of the desert, with the rich cobalt blue sea stretching out beyond the horizon and the lush gardens and green palm trees fringing the pristine sands. El Alamein is an up and coming destination and therefore offers a quieter retreat than its better-known sister resorts on the Red Sea. Do not be fooled, however into thinking that in any way sounds dull! Rixos Alamein offers guests a treasure trove of activities and entertainment to indulge in, creating wonder and enjoyment for all guests. Friends, families, young or old, the resort is a destination for those seeking an active luxury holiday. For guests wishing to venture beyond the resort, El Alamein is known for its rich heritage and close associations to World War II. El Alamein is home to the Al-Alamein Military Museum, which offers a fascinating insight into and pays tribute to Egypt's fundamental role. Rixos Alamein is located 310 kilometres from Cairo, 140 kilometres from Alexandria, 145 kilometres from Mersa Matruh and 19 kilometres from Alamein Airport.
