Ramses Square, square in Cairo, Egypt

Ramses Square is a public square in central Cairo, Egypt. It is a large open space where several main roads meet, and it contains the city's main railway station and a metro stop.

The area was once a village called Om Dineen, and later became a park under Muhammad Ali Pasha. In the 19th century, a railway station was built, and the square was renamed after a statue of Ramses II that stood there until 2006.

The square is a crossroads where people from all over Egypt pass through, and you can hear many different accents and see various styles of dress. Vendors sell snacks and drinks from carts, and the constant movement gives the area a raw, energetic feel.

The square is always busy, so it is best to visit in the morning or late at night when it is less crowded. Wear comfortable shoes because you will likely walk a lot, and keep an eye on your belongings in the crowded areas.

The statue of Ramses II that once stood in the square was moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum to protect it from pollution. The square also has a metro station that is one of the few where two lines cross, making it a key transfer point.
