The High Dam is considered the largest and most impressive constructional achievement of modern Egypt. The Egyptian government built it to preserve the water of the Nile flood and to generate a considerable portion of Egypt’s electricity.
After the World Bank refused to fund the construction of the High Dam, the Egyptian government nationalized the Suez Canal to provide the needed fund to construct the High Dam. With the cost of around one billion US dollars, the Soviet Union supported Egypt with one-third of this amount. This is in addition to 400 Soviet experts who worked in its construction that started in 1960. The construction was completed in 1968, in the ruling period of former Egyptian President, Gamal Abdel Nasser.
