Ramses Station was first built in 1856 but was
reconstructed in 1892 to the more traditional Arabic
style of architecture. In 1955 the facade was refurbished
in the same style and a statue of Ramesses II was placed
in the esplanade. The statue of Ramesses II replaced a
famous statue by Mahmud Mukhtar that depicted the
"Awakening of Egypt", which had been placed
there in 1928. The station is the main railway station
for Cairo.
