Inaugurated on 20 October 2019 by the National Authority of Tunnels, Minister of Transport Kamel al-Wazir dubbed the station as the largest underground station in the Middle East.
[1] The station was supposed to be opened the same day as the inauguration of the first section of the fourth phase, which also includes three other stations namely Haroun, Alf Maskan and Shams Club.
However, the opening was delayed due to ongoing implementations of the line as a result of the lateness of receiving its location from Cairo Governorate.
Having an area of 10,000 square meters, it is considered as the largest station in the region of its kind.
[4] Eight staircases, six escalators, and two elevators provide access to the station from street level, and a further ten staircases, eleven escalators, and two lifts provide access from the ticket window level to the platforms.
