Does anyone know anything about the Russian Friendship monument at Aswan High Dam? e.g. when it was built? Who designed it? what it says inside? I have tried to find out without success Thank you

Well, Al.
That was a good link!!!! I might add that the patterns on th inside of the monument are inspired by the lace that is made in Assiout. I really would like to get my hand on that lace but it doesn't seem to be labeled as a touristic souvenir. Never saw it on the local markets in Cairo, Luxor or Aswan. And something else to add: I did get on to the circular viewpoint!! I wasn't allowed to take pictures but it was a real treat. A baksheesh can get you anywhere in Egypt.... ;-)
