This Dam is a must see for all tourists. It was completed in 1970 and is the largest embankment dam in the world. This dam was built to control the flooding of the Nile River during the rainy season, and to release water during times of drought. It forms the 3 rd largest reservoir in the world which is called Lake Nasser. Unfortunately the reservoir covered some Egyptian temples that were built about 2600 BC.
