It is located in the Zamalek, Cairo, in front of Sharbatly apartment building and a number of embassies. The station contributes in finding of transportation modes in the area and also to reduce congestion. It was opened on 5 October 2023 as part of the Phase 3 from Attaba to Kitkat station after successful pilot runs in May and August. Originally named Zamalek station, it was renamed in honor to Safaa Hegazy who died in 2017. On 3 July 2023, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ordered the start of the pilot operation of the station.

The residents of the island were concerned about the impact of the construction on the older buildings. On 26 July 2020, the Sharbatly building with the adjacent Bahraini embassy were evacuated after cracks as a result of land subsidence were observed, but the National Authority Tunnels denied the construction of the station has caused it.
