If you travel south to the sun-drenched city of Aswan, you will encounter a monument of a completely different scale not built by ancient Pharaohs, but by modern hands. The Aswan High Dam (known in Arabic as Al-Sadd al-Aali) is one of the most significant engineering triumphs of the 20th century. Standing atop it, looking out over the vastness of Lake Nasser on one side and the winding Nile on the other, is an experience that takes your breath away. This is why this modern marvel deserves a top spot on your Egyptian travel itinerary.
