He ruined the country in many, many ways. His Cons overshadow his Pros heavily.

1-He overthrew the REAL first president of Egypt, Mohammad Naguib, Because Naguib was going to make a democratic election among Egyptians to choose their leader and government. He ruled for less than a year in total before Nasser overthrew him

2-He was stubborn and didn't think twice about his decisions, which lead to him almost losing the tripartite aggression, Losing the war of 1963 and subsequently losing Sinai. His Union with Syria was very short lived and all of his other tries at unification failed

3-He turned Egypt to a socialist state that heavily relied on the Warsaw pact and especially the Soviet Union, ofc, The Soviet weapons would've made him score multiple Victories over the isrealis, But alas, he was incompetent and didn't know how to use them properly. So that just led up to Egypt being the breadbasket for another empire for the 4th or 5th time.

4-His military dictatorship still lingers on till this day, and due to this, many terrorist organisations like the Islamic brotherhood and the idea of Qutbism in general were spearheaded to counter the failed secularist nasserist attempts at multiple things. His successor, Sadat, Lost in 1973 but scored a diplomatic victory and took Sinai back and was shot dead by the Islamic brotherhood, and his successor Mubarak (Who just died 4 Days ago, at the age of 91), ruled the country for 30 years, the second longest term in modern Egyptian history, He plagued the economy by his unsuccessful attempts at erasing nasserist socialism, and Oppressed any revolt by killing the innocent revolutionaries, until the 2011 revolution. In other words, Egyptians went from riches to rags.

All in all, I would call Nasser, as I am Egyptian myself, "Charismatic at speaking, But idiotic at implementing".
