Located on the west bank of the River Nile, the Egyptian Russian Friendship Monument is situated close to the High Dam and is hard to miss, being built to commemorate Russia's involvement when the dam was constructed . Based upon the five petals of an actual lotus flower, this Egyptian Russian Friendship Monument towers more than 70 metres / 230 feet into the air. An observation deck stands part way up and offers some impressive panoramic vistas across the Dam and beyond. Taken @Aswan, Egypt
