Aswan High Dam, Arabic Al-Sadd al-ʿĀlī, rock-fill dam across the Nile River at Aswān, Egypt, completed in 1970 (and formally inaugurated in January 1971) at a cost of about $1 billion.
Located along the banks of the mighty river Nile, Aswan is a small quiet town with a slew of amazing things you can do. Due to its proximity of one of the greatest temples in Egypt, Abu Simbel, Aswan offers a great base for you to explore Nubian ruin
Aswan is overflowing with history, a place that has fascinated visitors from Florence Nightingale to Flaubert. So why is it so often overlooked by today's tourists?
Spread out along the banks of the Nile, Aswan is a relaxed and friendly town that provides a tranquil interlude if you've just arrived from busier Luxor or Cairo.
