Egyptian Railway Museum

Opened in 1933 and re-opened after development in March 2016. Located inside Misr Station in Ramses Square, it displays Egypt's extensive railway heritage. Discover Egypt's railway history at the Egyptian Railway Museum in Ramses Station, featuring vintage locomotives, royal carriages and historic transport models. The site is located in Misr Station, Ramses Square, Cairo, and is treated here as a Museum. Before travelling, confirm current opening times, admission rules and any same-day access restrictions. Older operating details are retained as historical reference only and are not treated as current unless separately verified. Cairo Governorate’s current portal continues to identify the National Railway Museum at Ramses Square as a visitor destination beside Egypt’s central railway station. The museum was built in 1932 for the International Railway Conference held in Cairo in 1933 and preserves the development of Egyptian rail transport through historic engines, ornate carriages, technical models and archival material. Its specialist library also holds documents relating to the history of Egypt’s railway network. The museum’s location inside the country’s principal rail hub makes it unusually easy to combine with a journey through Ramses Station, while the collection provides context for Egypt’s pioneering role in railway development in the region. The current official portal reviewed does not provide a dependable 2026 admission price or daily timetable, so those operational details should still be confirmed before a dedicated visit. For visitors interested in industrial and transport history, the museum connects surviving vehicles and models with documentary evidence of how railways reshaped movement between Cairo, Alexandria and other Egyptian cities.
