==Alexandria railway station ==
In 1906, the [[Alexandria]] [[railway station]] was built by mistake in Dalaman. The building still exists and serves today as the headquarters of the state farm. The year before the construction (1905), [[Abbas Hilmi Pasha]] (then [[Khedive of Egypt]]) had acquired a large part of the fertile plain and had decided to set up a [[plantation]] in the region.

He had ordered the plans and the material for his projected residence here to his architects in [[France]], at the same as the plans and the material for a railway station for Alexandria in [[Egypt]]. Unfortunately, the two simultaneous shipments were misdirected, the materials for his residence heading towards Egypt, and those for the Alexandria railway station ending up in Dalaman. Since it was going to be too costly to re-ship everything to the right destination, the station was built in Dalaman anyway, with even a few kilometers of purposeless railway track.
