The Aswan High Dam, one of the largest embankment dams in the world, was constructed across the Nile in Aswan in 1970. It has been regarded as an engineering marvel. It was built to create Lake Nasser, one of the largest artificial lakes in the world. At the top of this dam, one can watch the panoramic views of the lake contrasting with the vast sandy desert.
The Aswan High Dam has had a significant positive impact on Egypt's economy and flood control. Its material content is 18 times that of the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
