Answer:

The Philae Island separates the Aswan high dam from the city of Aswan.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Aswan High Dam is built on the "largest river in the world", the River Nile. It is situated just before Lake Nasser.
  • The name of the dam comes from the name of a city based on the "banks of the River Nile".
  • The city of Aswan is separated from the "Aswan High Dam by the Philae Island" that sits in the middle of the river dividing it into two different flows.
