Expressions Definition
Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Company The Cairo Electric Railways & Heliopolis Oases Company is a company formed in Cairo in 1906 in a partnership between a consortium of Belgian developers led by Endouard Empain and Boghos Nubar Pasha, son of one-time Egyptian prime minister Nubar Nubarian. Though a railway company by name, the company played just as great a role as a property development company once the company acquired a very large area (25 square kilometers) northeast of Cairo, where the ancient city of Heliopolis once stood and where Cairo International Airport is today.
