It was known as Midan Qasr Al Dubara, until the Venezuelan gift to Egypt in 1979 of the statue of the Venezuelan hero Simon Bolivar, which is now located in the central part of the square.

The existence of this statue Ls a reflection of the friendship between Egypt and Venezuela.
The choice of this square to put the statue of Simon Bolivar was not by luck but had a meaning.
