This fact is reflected in the Opera metro station of the second line of the subway, which is located in Gezira island, near Zamalek neighborhood: "The Opera metro station opened in 1996, and we know the soil better now. Meanwhile, in the struggle against the Zamalek metro, there have been calls for the president to intervene. In the virtual space, residents express themselves fervently in the Facebook group "Save Zamalek Island", which is home to about 2,000 residents of the prestigious district. In an elegant paper case, Maha al-Tarabeshi, a media professor, a resident of Zamalek and a strong activist in the Zamalek metro case, keeps a semi-complete archive of Zamalek residents' campaign against the Zamalek subway station, tracing a clear map of the campaign's history from its inception. Tarabeshi and her family live in Zamalek neighborhood since she was a child, a quiet area embracing several foreign communities, because of the scattering diplomatic bodies in it.
