THE HIGH DAM CITY

by trotador - last update: Dec 24, 2003

tombs of local nobles
Aswan was only a little town with adobe houses.
With the High Dam construction in the 60's lot of factories came to the city (iron, concret, etc) and with the factories the workers and families.
80% of the population is Muslim and 20% Coptic Christians.
Aswan is like a industrial city.

 Hi T, the Nubian Village sounds interesting. The minute I read you touched a crock...I was like "wow". Tell me why you hated the Sound and Light Show. I read it's better than the one in Cairo and I plan to see it.
