during the reign of the Egyptian President Gamal Abd El Nasser, as he decided
to build the High Dam because of the Nile River flooding. This huge building is 1
km wide, 3.5 km in length and 111m tall. Therefore this amazing project started in 1960 and
perfectly finished in 1971, it also left an area that was flooded by the Nile
River and turned to a beautiful lake, consequently they called it Lake Nasser,

electricity by its water.
