A place to share pictures taken from above, that reveal interesting views, fascinating places or different angles to places.
I have made a short video describing how I take the pictures that I share, here
This is not a rule! You are welcome to share any aerial picture you feel is worth sharing. I just thought that maybe some of you may need a little help. It's really addictive once you get started!

Wikipedia suggests that this pool in Egypt is the largest.
I always thought it was the one you posted
Maybe largest in volume, it looks a lot deeper than the one OP posted, almost like a tank for an orca.
The one OP posted looks like it's just really long, and maybe a bit more shallow, like 5 feet might be the deepest part. I don't see any diving boards, or depth markers like you usually see for pools with varying depths, so maybe made shallow to accommodate kids.
This is one of the maps reviews:
So, I don't think it should count until it is operational.
It also doesn't really look like a pool on Google maps - it's got sandy beaches, rather than walls with stepped/ramped entrances.
Even when that one opens, I'd argue that OP posted the largest pool, and this is more of an artificial pond.
