Heliopolis station (Arabic: محطة هليوبوليس) is a station of the Line 3 of the Cairo Metro located under Heliopolis Square in Heliopolis, Cairo. Inaugurated on 20 October 2019 by the National Authority of Tunnels, Minister of Transport Kamel al-Wazir dubbed the station as the largest underground station in the Middle East.[1]
The station was supposed to be opened the same day as the inauguration of the first section of the fourth phase, which also includes three other stations namely Haroun, Alf Maskan and Shams Club. However, the opening was delayed due to ongoing implementations of the line as a result of the lateness of receiving its location from Cairo Governorate.[2] On 23 August 2019, the implementation of the station was complete.[3]
