Ramses Station anchors the national rail network as the primary terminal for long-distance passenger travel.

Known locally as Misr Station and Bab al-Hadid, the terminal originated as the terminus for the pioneer rail route connecting Alexandria to Cairo. The structure gained its current name after a pharaonic colossus stood in the adjoining square. Extensive overhauls installed air conditioning, escalators, and polished marble flooring across the concourse, prompting debate among preservationists regarding the loss of historic styling.
