Heliopolis now is considered a main part of Cairo. It is home to celebrities, football players, politicians and wealthy families. The numbers of residents have doubled several times since 1922. A tram system serves Heliopolis and parts of the surrounding area, and Heliopolis was already integrated into the existing underground system to link it to other pivotal residential areas all around Cairo. Right now, several underground stations are being constructed in some areas of Heliopolis.
