Welcome to Heliopolis, a charming neighbourhood in the heart of Cairo, and home to one of its most iconic landmarks: Baron Empain Palace. Join me on this walking tour as we explore the vibrant streets of Heliopolis and finish with a tour of the grandeur and beauty of the palace.
As we stroll through the bustling streets, you'll discover the stunning architecture, iconic landmarks, and local shops and eateries that make this area so special. But what really sets Heliopolis apart is its sense of community. Come see for yourself the friendly and welcoming locals who add to the neighbourhood's charm.
And of course, no visit to Heliopolis is complete without a tour of the Baron Empain Palace. Built in the early 20th century, this stunning example of Islamic Revival architecture features intricate details and ornate carvings adorning every corner. We'll walk through the palace's grand halls and elegant rooms, learning about its fascinating history and the former owner, Belgian industrialist Baron Edouard Empain.
As we explore the tranquil gardens and lush surroundings of the palace, you'll be struck by its peaceful and serene atmosphere, a stark contrast to the bustling streets of Cairo outside.
