— High Dam, structure on the River Nile formally inaugurated in 1971 (5)

I believe the answer is:

aswan

(Other definitions for aswan that I've seen before include "Large dam in Egypt" , "Site of dam in Egypt" , "Egyptian city and dam" , "Egyptian town and dam" , "Nile High Dam" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
