Egyptian Railway Museum, Railway museum at Ramses Station, Cairo, Egypt.

The Egyptian Railway Museum holds more than 700 train models, historical locomotives, carriages, and equipment showing how rail transport evolved in Egypt. The two-story building sits next to Ramses Station and contains separate sections for maps, bridge models, rare documents, and signal equipment.

It was established in 1932 under King Fouad I and opened in 1933 to coincide with an International Railway Conference held in Cairo. The collection traces how railways transformed Egyptian infrastructure and trade since the 19th century.

The museum occupies two floors of a building attached to Ramses Station, and its entrance is not visible from the station's main passage; station staff point visitors the way. Inside, the highlight is the salon car of Muhammad Said, who ruled Egypt from 1854 to 1863, decorated outside with gilded flowers and leaves in red, green and pink.

Supervisors speak only Arabic, and not every exhibit carries a label, so the catalogue sold at the entrance helps identify the models.
