A general view shows a felucca sailing at the Nile River in the Egyptian city of Aswan, some 920km south of the capital Cairo, on January 2, 2021. - Half a century since Egypt's Aswan dam was inaugurated to much fanfare, harnessing the Nile for hydropower and irrigation, the giant barrier is still criticised its human and environmental toll.
