The Aswan High Dam, an earthen dam that divides Egypt from Sudan in the north, is known as the high dam. The dam is fueled by the River Nile, and Lake Nasser is formed by the reservoir. Construction on the project began in 1960 and was completed in 1968. In 1971, it was properly inaugurated.

The Unfinished Obelisk: In ancient Egypt, Aswan provided the finest granite needed to fashion statues and adorn temples, pyramids, and obelisks.
