Kareem: My homework project this week is about the places that I have visited in Jordan.
My favourite places in Jordan
I have been to many different places in Jordan. I like the sea at Aqaba. It’s a great place to go swimming! It’s very hot in Aqaba in the summer, but it’s not as hot as the desert! It is more than thirty-six degrees Centigrade in Wadi Rum in August.
I’ve also visited Jerash and Salt. Jerash is a city with a lot of Roman buildings. Many visitors go there. Jerash is big, but it is not as big as Salt. There are many hills in Salt, and also many beautiful, traditional buildings. Salt is an old city, but it isn’t as old as Petra. It is fascinating and it is my favourite place in Jordan!
I’ve also been to the Dead Sea. In my opinion, this is the best place to swim in Jordan. It’s great!
There are some places that I haven’t seen in Jordan. I haven’t been to Dibeen Forest in the north of Jordan. I would like to see the birds that live there. Next month, my family is taking me to Dibeen Forest. I am very excited about our trip.
