The Aswan Dam is located on the main stream of the Nile River in Egypt, near the Aswan City, about 800 kilometers south of the capital Cairo. It is a large-scale integrated water conservancy hub project with various benefits such as irrigation, power generation, flood control, shipping, tourism, and aquatic products. The granite used in the Aswan dam today is more than the Pyramid of Houf, which is magnificent. 12 generators can supply electricity not only to Egypt, but also to other Arab countries. The Aswan Dam was built in 1960 and completed in 1970. It ranked 11th in the world. The Soviet Union designed the early works and provided the equipment for a power station. The dams played a huge role in Egypt's social development, with Lake Nasser, formed over 500 kilometers south, providing for reasonable water use, supplying half of Egypt's electricity demand, and stopping the annual flooding of the Nile. Although the dam construction also has some drawbacks, the dam construction is still a major project in Egypt, and it has become a tourist attraction.

The plane entered Egyptian airspace, although the visibility was not high, it was clear that the mother river of Egypt could be seen: the Nile River was flowing in the yellow land. The flight arrived at 10 a.m. on July 22, the first stop to visit the Aswan Dam. The tour guide only introduces the basic situation of the dam. The dam is protected by the army's high-level, and the core part is not open to the outside world. For tourists to visit a section of the dam, only the clear water quality of the Nile River can be felt. The Aswan Dam is blocked by the world's largest artificial lake, Lake Nasser, and the lake is wide. The scale of the sky is stunning.
