Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations (文明)in the world. It has great culture and history. Let's take a look at some wonderful
places in the country.
Arabian Desert
Do you think it might be fun to ride a camel in the
desert? If so, you should go to the Arabian Desert. It is also known as the Eastern
Desert. It takes up nearly one-quarter of Egypt's land. Riding a camel is fun. Camels kneel down to let you
sit on them.
Luxor
If you want to see ancient palaces and buildings, Luxor is a great place to go. People there call it the "open-air museum of ancient Egypt". Many people visit Luxor every
year. Some famous places there include the Valley of the Kings and the Valley
of the Queens.
The Great Sphinx
The Great Sphinx is a statue of a lion with a man's head. It's very large. The Sphinx is about 240 feet
long (about 73 m) and 65 feet high (about 20m). Its eyes are two meters high!
For hundreds of years, the Sphinx has guarded(守卫)the Great Pyramid of Khufu.
