Hitachi / SEMAF #4225
16 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG) - Midan al Sayyid al Mirghani. Heliopolis was conceived and built as a 'garden city' away from the crowded centre of Cairo, with fine buildings and wide boulevards, often including tram tracks. This is one of the main east-west roads through the city, carrying a mix of Cairo to Heliopolis interurbans and purely local routes operated by these ex-Cairo city trams.

Hitachi / SEMAF #4261
16 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG) - Midan al Sayyid al Mirghani. Cairo city tramways Hitachi cars #4261 and #4262 on a local service in Heliopolis. The Heliopolis system is now fully integrated with Cairo, although these ex-city trams now work only a handful of remaining former Cairo routes and don't run into central Cairo.
Kinki Sharyo #6068
16 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG). Another Cairo city line (Line 12) likely to disappear quite soon, when another Metro line is opened. Although the track here looks to be in quite good condition, many of the rails are stamped "Krupp 1897", so they date from the very first Cairo tramways - how scary is that?

Hitachi / SEMAF #4225
16 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG) - Al-Sayyid-Al-Mirghani. Although this series of trams have Hitachi builders plates, it seems likely they were assembled locally from Japanese parts. This street (like many in Cairo) has a big military building, so photos are forbidden. Luckily, we couldn't read the notices (all in Arabic)!

Kinki Sharyo #6034
16 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG) - Atef el Sadat Square. Cairo city tram set 6034+6066 crosses Heliopolis beneath one of the road flyovers the Egyptians love so much. Line 12 is one of the few remaining Cairo city lines (which now only run in Heliopolis) and may soon disappear, leaving just interurban lines on these tracks.
Kinki Sharyo #1030
18 february 2010 - Heliopolis (EG) – Roxy. This is the most important junction on the Heliopolis interurban system, where lines to various parts of the city join up for the run into Cairo. The elevated building on the right is a rare tram signal box. Cars 1030+1028 are leaving on a Cairo service – note the ‘passenger’ on the back. The trams travel quite fast on this section and the track is bumpy, so this seems a fairly dangerous way to avoid buying a ticket (which by Western standards are ridiculously cheap).
