Next we headed to the High Dam completed in 1971 with the aid of the Soviets after the U.S. and Britain backed out in 1958 in an effort to marginalize the then-President Nasser. The monument is to the friendship between the Egyptian and Russian peoples. The inside is absolutely stunning with with elevators that used to go to the top, but are now forbidden since a Belgian tourist fell several years ago. The other shot is of me with the high water dammed behind me.
