Dalaman Train Station is a building built as a train station belonging to TİGEM, located in the Dalaman district of Muğla. It was built in 1905 by the Egyptian Khedive Abbas Hilmi Pasha.
Hilmi Pasha wants to build a hunting lodge in Dalaman. Allegedly, the materials of the train station planned to be built in Alexandria are mistakenly brought to Dalaman, the materials of the hunting lodge planned to be built in Dalaman, or the routes of the ships are given incorrectly and the workers complete the construction until the mistake is noticed. Realizing the mistake, Abbas Hilmi Pasha had the rails and ticket offices in the building removed and a mosque built next to it.
When the train station, Abbas Hilmi Pasha's son, could not pay the 4 million lira debt, it was sold to the state together with the farm and started to be used as agricultural land. Since 1984, TİGEM has been serving as the Dalaman Agricultural Operations Directorate.
