Mahatet El Raml (Arabic: محطة الرمل) is a neighborhood in Alexandria, Egypt. It features a large public square containing the main station of the Alexandria tramways. It is one of the main centers for tourism, retail, and entertainment in the city.
One of the defining features of Mahatet El Raml is the specialization of vendors along certain streets (e.g. sellers of telephones and radios congregate in Nabi Danial Street). These vendors also attract tourists, helped by the presence of several hotels, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The Alexandria Opera House and other venues for traditional and non-traditional performing arts respectively, are also located in the neighborhood.
