The white flag and coat of arms show a
symbolism that characterizes Helwan as an industrial location (half cogwheel)
and several world-famous gardens (indicated green stalks). To
what extent the symbols will be continued after the dissolution of the
governorate of the city of Helwan in the governorate of al-Qahira is not known.
