Fun fact: The Egyptian temples were gifted after those countries were the major contributors to the program by UNESCO to save some Nubian temples (mainly Abu Simbel) before the contruction of the dam of Aswan, which would flood them. This was also the origin of the idea for UNESCO's World Heritage List'

Also, shoutout to Aveiro, Portugal, which also has canals but wasn't big enough, since I visited it a bit before Covid arrived to Portugal and Spain (my country)
