Where does Khaled live and where does his cousin live? Khaled lives in Ajloun but his cousin lives in Kuwait City
Two cities by Khaled
I live in Ajloun in Jordan. It’s a beautiful city. There are hills and valleys. There’s a big forest, too. There are lots of interesting trees and plants in the forest and many animals live there. Ajloun has a famous castle. It’s very old. You can’t see tall skyscrapers here!
My cousin, Omar, lives in Kuwait City. It’s the capital city of Kuwait. It is about 1100 kilometres from Jordan. It’s beautiful, but it’s very different from Ajloun. Kuwait City is on the coast. It doesn’t have any hills or mountains, but it has lots of tall, modern buildings.
Kuwait City is very hot in the summer. It’s hotter than Ajloun. In the summer in Kuwait City, there are often sandstorms. The wind carries sand from the desert. Ajloun isn’t as windy as Kuwait City, and there are no sandstorms here.
