The High Dam


 A competition was launched between architects and specialized companies to create a symbol that embodies the spirit of will and challenge between the Egyptian and Soviet sides in establishing the High Dam after its completion in 1964.
 
 Designed by Russian architect Yuri Umelitar Shenko, the symbol of Egyptian-Russian friendship was established in 1967.
 Its height is higher than the Cairo Tower due to the slope of the ground level from south to north, which is only 72 meters, while the height of the tower reaches about 600 meters.
 
 The symbol of friendship is in the form of an open lotus flower consisting of 5 leaves, implemented by the Egyptian Company for Armed Cement.
 
 The designer of the symbol of friendship chose the lotus flower because of its sanctity to the ancient Egyptians, which was represented by its ascent above the surface of the water, opening its five leaves at sunrise, closing it at sunset, and diving into the water again.
 The lotus flower has become a permanent symbol of southern Egypt, and the designer embodied the possibility of embodying the Soviet flag, consisting of a five-pointed star, an agricultural sickle, a hammer, and an artificial lake. The sickle is evidence of agriculture, the hammer is evidence of industry and the artificial lake is fishing.

Seven days is usually an ideal amount of time to spend in Egypt to see places like Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, and Alexandria and also sail down the Nile River.

The Temple of Kom Ombo is a unique double temple located in Kom Ombo, about 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of Aswan. It is dedicated to two ancient Egyptian gods, Sobek (the crocodile god) and Horus (the falcon-headed god). The temple's dual design reflects its purpose as a place of worship for both deities. It is well-known for its well-preserved reliefs and its ancient Nilometer, which was used to measure the water level of the Nile River.

This enormous monument, which celebrates the friendship between Egypt and Russia, is situated close to the Aswan High Dam. In the 1960s, the USSR played a crucial role in the construction of the dam by contributing heavy machinery, technicians, and funding. The monument is shaped like a lotus flower, an emblem of historic Egypt.

The Egyptian-Russian Friendship Monument in Aswan is a monument located on the banks of the Nile River in Aswan, Egypt. It was erected as a symbol of the close ties between Egypt and Russia, which span many decades.

The Egyptian-Russian Friendship Monument that a visitor can take part in in Aswan is known as the "Russian-Egyptian Friendship Monument". Located in Aswan's Sadat Park, this monument was inaugurated in 1989 as a symbol of the friendly relations between Egypt and the (then) Russian Federation.
The monument consists of two huge columns, each symbolizing Egypt and Russia, united at the top by the highest part representing the friendship between the two countries.

After the United States and Britain refused to finance the dam project, and after several implementation negotiations, Egypt, led by Gamal Abdel Nasser, decided to seek help from the Soviet Union. 
The Soviet Union granted Egypt a loan of one billion dollars with negligible interest, one third of which was later written off, and Moscow sent engineers, technicians and experts in dam construction, huge excavators and equipment to Egypt, and supervised the project that was completed on time, the Egyptians called it the High Dam, which protected the country from flooding and provided it with the electrical current necessary to launch the wheel of development, and still illuminates Egypt and serves the development projects in it.
