Να την πω "Ηλιούπολη" (και να βάλω επεξηγηματική σημείωση για μη δημιουργηθεί η προφανής σύγχυση-απορία) ή "Ηλιόπολη" (δεν μου αρέσει, υπάρχει εδώ: http://el.science.wikia.com/wiki/Ηλιόπολη_\Αίγυπτος για την αρχαία αιγυπτιακή πόλη, η οποία ουδεμία σχέση έχει με την Helioupolis που αναφέρει ο συγγραφέας μου, καθώς τη βάζει μαζί με το Μάριενμπαντ και το Μόντε Κάρλο, κοσμικά κέντρα της εποχής);

"Heliopolis (or On) (Greek: Ἡλίου πόλις or Ἡλιούπολις), meaning sun-city, was one of the most ancient cities of Egypt, and capital of the 13th Lower Egyptian nome. Its name also refers to an unrelated modern suburb of Cairo..."

In 1905, Empain established the Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company, which bought a large stretch of desert some distance to the northeast of Cairo at a low price from the colonial government. His efforts culminated in 1907 with the building of the new town of Heliopolis, in the desert ten kilometers from the center of Cairo. It was designed as a "city of luxury and leisure", with broad avenues and equipped with all necessary conveniences and infrastructure; water, drains, electricity, hotel facilities, such as the Palace Hotel and Heliopolis House, and recreational amenities including a golf course, racetrack and park. In addition, there was housing for rent, offered in a range of innovative design types targeting specific social classes with detached and terraced villas, apartment buildings, tenement blocks with balcony access and workers' bungalows.
Ευχαριστώ!
