Abstract

The French TV reporters rediscover Egypt seven years after the Suez crisis. Beyond the classic images of tourism of the Pyramids, the eternal rhythm of the fellah in the fields or the boatmen of the Nile and a youth ubiquitous in areas of the city, they discover a modern Egypt, beginning to build with the help of the USSR: buildings sites and especially the grandiose project of Aswan, which will be the largest dam in the world.
