Mabarakat Station
Although both el Muzahhim” and “Mubârekât et Taka stations are well recorded in the State Books, the one at Mubârekât et Taka” is not mentioned in PTT Lists; no doubt due to proximity to an already established postal presence at nearby “al Hidjr” since 1896 according to a dated (1313 - 1896 / 1897) Telegraph and Post Office type negative seal which reads “Medâin i Sâlih”.
