Heliopolis: Cairo's northern suburb [in Arabic Misr al Gedida or 'New Egypt] is spectacularly different from the rest of the city. It was conceived as a luxury city in 1905 by a Belgian industrialist, Baron Empain, with unusually broad streets, green areas and a unique architectural style, a mixture of Moorish, Arab and European design ideas combined into the delightful and successful 'Heliopolis Style,' visible in the images above and throughout the area.
