Egypt By Gawahir Saeed Egypt is a great place to live or visit, because it has an amazing civilization. That makes Egypt an attractive country for people to tour from around the world. Also, Egypt has many seas and rivers for people to enjoy and relax. The most interesting attractors that grab my attention are nature, museum and transportations. Egypt is rich in nature. It has beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. Also, the country lies with the wide bond of desert that stretches from African‟s Atlantic coast across the continent and into southwest Asia. Moreover, the Sudan Nile River travels many kilometers from Sudan to Egypt. In addition, the Nile is a combination of three long rivers whose sours are in central Africa. The Egypt museum was first build in 1897. It has a faced a lot of changes in location. Now it‟s located in the mid61 dle of the city of Cairo. It opened in November 15, 1902. The museum has 107 halls to visit and enjoy statues. At the ground floor there are huge statues. Then the upper floor houses small statues and jewels. The museum also comprises photography and library. Egypt has a very organized museum because it is arranged in chronological order for visitors. The major museum forms of transportations in Egypt are metro and buses around the city. Metro in Egypt is the common transportation and it makes easy to get around the city very fast. For example, I when I take the metro from where I live to the middle of the city it takes me about 20 minutes. Therefore, Egypt is a great place to visit because it has good nature and amazing museum that is rich in history. Egypt has modern transportation that makes visitors move easily and quickly around the country. Teacher: Alison Neeland Level 8 Morning Fall 2009
