    During rush hour, trains arrive at this station every 4-7 minutes. It's about 7-15 minutes during non-peak times.

    Do not enter the turnstile with a rolling bag, you are likely to get stuck (and hurt).

    Very sketchy area. I really don't understand the fascination with why everyone feels compelled to hang out by the train stop.

    One of the more 'ghetto' downtown train stops. Highly recommend not loitering in front of the McDonalds!

    Avoid a crowded bus stop and fast-food temptations by getting out through the northwest exit, walking a few steps north, and checking out El Souk for some serious Middle Eastern food.
