Photos of The High Dam

The Aswan Dam is located on the Nile River, 900 kilometers south of Cairo, Egypt. The arc-shaped arch bridge is 111 meters high. It is 40 meters wide at the  3830 meters long. When it was built, it formed Lake Nasser. Standing by the dam, overlooking the vast and misty Nasser Reservoir, the lakes and mountains, the egrets are flying in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the fishing boats are dotted and sparkling. In addition to the boundless water surface on both sides of the dam, there are many water conservancy facilities, such an industrialized scene is rare in Egypt. Walking slowly upstream from the main dam, you can see the emergency spillway on the right and the dam's grand power station on the left. The low-lying places are composed of low and high layers of cinnamon soil steps, piles of accumulated stones and piles of yellow sand on the shore, all of which have left the historical imprint of the construction of the project.
