THE UNIQUE LOCATION
The location of the Heliopolis Cleopatra Resort is one of the most beautiful, most exquisite locations in Marsa Martrouh. This is because of its exceptionally special features. A very long reef beginning with the Heliopolis Club Resort, and ending at El Gharam beach characterizes it. The place has been considered dramatically important because the Roman monuments, the Cleopatra bathes and the Mediterranean Sea are right behind it. To its right, there is the "Allam Company Resort", which is a very tranquil place as well. Heliopolis Resort is also 10 minutes away from "El Abiad" and "Ageeba". 10 minutes to the mosque of Sidi El Awwam, which is considered the highest point of old Marsa Matrouh. It only takes 20 minutes to get to "Rommel" from the Resort and 5 minutes to get to Cleopatra and enjoy its breathtaking baths and monuments. Moreover, this special location is only sometime away from the "Rommel" area, but the distance here is for the best, as the Rommel area is always crowded and full of so many visitors. This is what a regular visitor to Marsa Matrouh understands well. Any visitor can easily notice how unique the place of our Resort is. It is very well known for a fact that it is the perfect place for any family to spend a full week enjoying every minute. A family can spend maximum two days visiting the fantastic sites of Marsa Matrouh, and then spend the rest of the week enjoying the crystal clear sea, the white sandy beach and the absolutely relaxing atmosphere. Therefore, admiring the beauty of the place, one can easily say that if Laila Mourad had lived to see the purely fascinating Resort of Heliopolis Club, she would have sang for its wonders as well.

History of Helopolis club
The Heliopolis Sporting Club was founded on January 1, 1910 by the "Cairo Electric Railways and Heliopolis Oases Co." which managed until December 31, 1921. In January 1, 1922, the club members took over the management by virtue of a contract signed with the company. At that time, the area of the club stretched from its present location, all through the 4th district "Ard El Golf" which was allocated to the club golf course.
The first three Chairmen of the Board (until March 8th 1949) were british. They were: Dr. P. Phillips Dr. P. H. Henderson Dr. J. R. Aldercotte
The director of the club, until the 15 of February 1952, was Mr. E. W. Langtry.
The club by-laws were set on October 28, 1928 and were approved by the Clubs General Assmbly. These by-laws were later modified on sevral instances.
Since it was founded, the club name is the "Heliopolis Sporting Club", its permanent location being Heliopolis (Misr El Gedida). The Club colours were pale and dark blue and its badge consisted of a lotus flower, the pharaohs "key of life" and the risisng sun (symbol of Heliopolis ) with the name of the club inserted in the center.
The club was under Royal Patronage from July 27, 1938 until the July 1952 Revolution.
The activities of the club included water polo, swiming, diving, squash, tennis, golf, cricket, hokey, bridge, bowling and dancing.
In 1947, the area of the club was reduced to its present size (around 19 feddans ) after the company took back the land of the golf course. Golf was cancelled after the frequent objections of club members, during General Assembles, to the large expenses incurres by the game which was, after all, only played by a few members
Until the 60's, the club regulation limited the membership to 4000 members. This number was considered suitable for the club area
The club contract was renewed on February1, 1957 for 25 years renewable, for a nominal rent of 100 L.E. per annum after which the club claims ownership of the buildings.
On March 8, 1943 Saba Pasha Habashi was the first Egyptian to become a board member.
On March 24, 1949 Nagib Pasha Iskander was the first Egyptian to be appointed Chairman of the Board.
Wing Commander Adly El Shafei was the first Egyptian to become, in September 15, 1952, the club director.
One of the most notable patriotic stands for the club was the decision taken on november 20, 1951, by the Board of Directors chaired by Nagib Pasha Iskander, Ibrahim Bey Abdel Wahab, Mr. Fikri Makram Ebid, Wing Commander Adly El Shafei and Mr. Moustafa Kamel Mansour on the occasion of the incdents that took place in the Suez Canal Region.
The decisions were as follows:
To forbid british members ( 117 members ) from entering the club.
To give the british secretary leave of absence for two months after which his position was to be reconsidered.
To forbid selling of british goods at the club.
These decisions are to be made public on the notice board of the club.
