The interior section of the neighborhood contains the Sidi Gaber railway station, the main rail entry point to Alexandria for most travelers.

The station is one of the oldest in Egypt, having served the eastern regions of the city before their transformation into major urban districts (they had previously been summer resorts for foreigners and wealthy and middle-class Cairenes).

According to archaeologist Mostafa Waziri, the skeletons looked like a family burial with a middle-aged woman and two men.
