Egypt is known for its ancient wonders, and its links to the past. One of the most impressive contrasts of our trip was the Aswan High Dam, built in the 1960's. It contains 18 times more material than the largest pyramid in Egypt, increased the cultivility of Egypt 30 percent, and dwarfs the original dam built in Aswan! The result of this dam also is Lake Nasser, which has 500 miles of artifical lake property, making it the largest in the world. This dam is also responsible for over half of Egypt's energy supply.

Lovely page and pictures. volopolo | PA2AKgirl Thu May 3, 2007 21:14 UTC
I miss this part of the world. Good page & it's really too bad that other people ruined the chance for you to visit the mausoleum. I think that's the way a few Turkish sites are going to end up--there was obvious disrespect in some places. | uglyscot Wed Apr 5, 2006 08:50 UTC
Excellent page of one of the most beautiful places in Egypt. Thanks for the memories. | hindu1936 Wed Feb 15, 2006 14:04 UTC
Thank you for reminding us to take care of the opportunity to view things--it is a privilege, not a right. As the widow of Aga Khan showed, the privilege can be revoked. |
