I am Sherif and I live in Ismailia, which is between Port Said and Suez. The Suez Canal runs
through the city before it reaches the sea.
Ismailia is beautiful. There are attractive buildings, interesting monuments and lots of gardens.
Around 350,000 people live here, but since traffic is slow, there isn't much pollution.
Ismailia is peaceful, but it isn't boring! There are lots of things to do here, especially at the
weekends. On Friday afternoons, I often go to Lake Timsah, which is near the city, with my family. It's a
beautiful lake with beaches around it.
On Saturday mornings, I have tennis lessons at the sports centre at 9 am. Sometimes I go

�� ��
swimming in the afternoon with my friend, Sayed.
There are some interesting museums in Ismailia! My favourite is the Natural Science Museum
because I'm interested in animals. It's a good place to go at the weekend.

�� � ��� ��
I live in a small village in the south of Egypt. At the weekend, I usually do the same things. On Saturdays,
I get up at 7 am, then I always do my homework after breakfast. At lunchtime, I visit my cousins. We
like to eat together. Then, in the afternoon, I often play games with my cousins. What do you do?

I love travelling by train because it's interesting to look out of the window. In one journey, you
can see ferries crossing the Nile, green valleys, peaceful villages and busy cities, Trains are often fast
and comfortable, too. Egypt has the oldest railway in Africa. More than 800 million passengers travel by
train in Egypt every year on 5,000 kilometres of railway! I take the train when I visit my grandparents in
Edfu. It's my favourite journey

Lots of people in Alexandria use the tram to travel around the city. It's great way to travel! It's
easy to use and it isn't expensive. Trams are electric, so they are better for the environment than other
�

types of transport Some of the trams in Alexandria are unusual: they have two floors! I like sitting at the
top and watching the streets below.

Some people think that Sydney in Australia has the best transport in the world. Why? Because
trains, buses and ferries travel to all parts of the city. Comfortable buses go to the nearest beaches such
as Bondi". If you want to get somewhere quickly, fast trains leave from Central Station to many places,
including the airport.
It is quiet on the water, so ferries are peaceful and they are also easy to use. It is interesting to see the
famous buildings from the water, too.

Visit El-Orman Garden!

nineteenth century.

I'm Tarek and I live in a small village. On weekdays, there are two buses a day to the nearest city.
The first bus is at 7 am and the second one leaves late in the afternoon. My father doesn't take the early
bus because it is very slow. The traffic is always bad in the mornings. At the weekend, there is only one
bus, which goes at 8 am. There is not much traffic then, so it arrives in the city at 8.30 am. There is a
market in the city at this time, so I often take this bus with my mother.

 Hi Azza
I'm looking forward to our trip to the El-Orman Garden! The garden opens at 9 am, and it takes
about an hour to get there by car. What time shall we come to get you? The online reviews are
fantastic. The garden is very big and there's lots to see. Make sure that you wear comfortable shoes!
I'm sending you a map of the garden. You can see wild flowers and plants from all over the
country. There is also a small lake and a museum. What would you like to see first?
We could bring some food with us or we could go to a nearby café for lunch.
What would you prefer? There is also a lovely shop near the garden that sells pottery and
jewellery! See you Saturday,

Dear Hazem

Thank you for asking me to visit the lake. I would love to go there! I will be ready at 7 am, so you
can come to get me any time after that.
Yes, I have some comfortable shoes. I don't mind walking round the lake. I like walking in the
country. To answer your question, perhaps we should take a boat on the lake first, before it is too hot.

My mother is going to make me some lunch to take with us, but she always makes lots. I'm sure there
will be enough for us to share!
See you on Saturday

Aswan is a beautiful city in the south of Egypt. The River Nile runs through the city and there are lots of
things to see and do.

� ���

It's open every day from 8 o'clock in the morning to five or six o'clock in the afternoon.
To visit, you can go by ferry or even by felucca.
Another place to visit in Aswan is the Nubian Museum. It is between Al-Fanadek Street and El Sadat
�

Road. Some visitors" to Aswan take a taxi to visit the museum.

You can visit the museum every day. It opens in the morning at nine o'clock and it closes at one o'clock
for lunch. It opens again at five o'clock until nine or ten o'clock in the evening.
People come here to learn all about the life, culture and history of the people in Nubia.
