It is exempt, i.e. directly subject to the Holy See, not part of any ecclesiastical province.

Special Churches

United titles

Its full title reflects the (re)absorption of two former Latin Church missionary circonscriptions in Egypt :

• the northern Apostolic Vicariate of Heliopolis in Egypt (Eliopoli di Egitto) (since November 30, 1987), which had a see in the Cairo suburb it's named after
• the southern Apostolic Vicariate of Port-Said (since November 30, 1987), which had a see in the port city on the Suez Canal
