Ramses Railway Station (Arabic: محطة رمسيس, romanizedMaḥaṭṭat Ramsīs), also called Misr Station (Arabic: محطة مصر, romanizedMaḥaṭṭat Miṣr), is the main railway station of Cairo, Egypt. The name is derived from the Ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II, whose statue was erected by Nasser on the square there in 1955.
