The White Desert in Egypt is a very cool place that lots of people like to visit because it has really interesting rocks that look different and it's all white there.

The National Museum of Egyptian Civilization is a special place in the old city of Cairo. It was built in a very smart location because there are lots of other old and important things nearby. This makes it the perfect place to learn about different civilizations.

Once upon a time in 1996, there was a guard who protected an old temple called the Temple of Alexander the Great. He was riding on his donkey across a big sandy place called a desert. All of a sudden, the donkey's leg got hurt and it fell. When it fell, there was a little hole in the ground where the donkey fell.

This big mosque has been built a long time ago in Egypt. It was made by a powerful leader.  It is very long and has a tall tower that is higher than most buildings in the city. It is one of the biggest mosques in the whole world
