Heliopolis - Cairo - Comments & Reviews

Stroll through what was once an exclusive suburb for the European rulers of Egypt, and where the president and many of his ministers live. Check out the Baron's Palace (Qasr al-Baron), that is designed to resemble the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia or take a look at the Basilica, a copy of Istanbul's well-known Aya Sofia, in miniature, and the extraordinary architecture lining Sharia Ibrahim Laqqany.
