The Battle of Heliopolis or Ayn Shams was a decisive battle in 640 between Arab Muslim armies and Roman forces for the control of Egypt. Though there were several major skirmishes after this battle, it effectively decided the fate of the Roman rule in Egypt, and opened the door for the Muslim conquest of the Roman Exarchate of Africa.
