The Ottoman station frontage and rail yard, viewable from the street while the museum is closed.
The Ottoman Hejaz Railway station of 1908 is a landmark of the Ottoman railway era. The museum is reported closed for refurbishment in 2026, so photography is limited to the exterior from the street. Late afternoon gives warm side light on the stonework. Visitors should check current status on visitmadinahsa.com, and should not enter closed areas.
