2. A visit to the Aswan High Dam usually begins with a tour guide who provides an overview of the dam's history and importance. The Aswan High Dam was built in the 1960s to control the flooding of the Nile River and provide hydroelectric power to Egypt. The dam is a massive structure that spans 3.8 kilometers in length and has a height of 111 metres. Visitors are then taken on a trail across the top of the dam, where they can see the vast expanse of Lake Nasser, the reservoir created by the dam. The view from the top of the dam is breathtaking, as the blue waters of the lake stretch as far as the eye can see. After walking through the dam, visitors can explore the nearby visitor center, which provides more information about the dam's construction and its impact on Egypt.

About Aswan

Assuão, serena cidade do sul do Egito junto ao Nilo, onde as faluas deslizam entre ilhas de granito, aldeias núbias e margens ladeadas de palmeiras.

O Nilo está aqui no seu momento mais belo, interrompido por blocos de granito e ilhas verdes. A Ilha Elefantina alberga ruínas de templos antigos e coloridas aldeias núbias, a Ilha Kitchener é coberta por um jardim botânico, e na margem oeste os Túmulos dos Nobres estão escavados nas falésias de Qubbet el-Hawa, enquanto o mausoléu de cúpula do Aga Khan se ergue numa colina do deserto mais a sul.
