Salam.
Last week, I went to ARMA for a ‘mengaji’ session. Going there by bus which took me about an hour due to traffic congestion. After finishing my business there, I decided to try new Metro line, which is the third line. Metro refers to electric train just like KTM in Malaysia. The station behind ARMA is called Abdou Basha.
In Cairo, so far there are 3 metro line. First is El Marg-Helwan line. Second is Shubro-Munib line. And there third one is Airport-Imbaba line. But now, they only open the line from Abbasiyyah to Atabah. Guess that the other stations are still under construction.
Inside the train, there were a lot of empty seats and the aircond worked pretty well too. So, to go home from ARMA (Abdou Basha station), I had to transit twice at Attaba (2nd line) and Sadat (1st line) and finally stopped at Sayyeda Zeinab.
Well, this new Metro line offers new way to go to ARMA. Oh yes, ARMA is older name for Malaysian Hall Cairo. The whole journey takes about 40 minutes I guess. Here is one interesting fact about Cairo’s Metro. The ticket for any destination is just LE1 or about RM0.50. Unlike KTM, you have to pay according to the destinations that you want to go. As I remember, from Shah Alam to KL Sentral costs about RM2.50 but here, if you travel from Helwan University to Kobri El-Kobba, it is just LE1.
Well, thats all. Duh, no idea to make an ending. lol.
