My summer holidays
Hi everybody, my name is Francesc and today I'm going to talk about my summer holidays in Jordania.
Te first day we went to Barcelona airport to catch a flight to Amman, which in this case is the capital of Jordan, so the part with the largest concentration of buildings and locals.
The second day, already established in Amman, we drove to Jerash, one of the most famous cities of the East during the Roman Empire. It was amazing to see how well preserved were the ruins. We saw columns and walkways in perfect condition and even a Roman theater in which were represented both fictional and real shows. Then in the afternoon we went to the Ajlun Castle, located on Mount Auf, built by Saladin's troops, which fought against the Crusaders of the time.
The third day, as we head into the desert to see up close the famous castles of the desert, which in its most glorious times were houses of kings and nobles. The and by noon we went to the famous Dead sea. We swam in its salty waters and were able to experience the full flotation of our bodies, in addition to its salinity, its therapeutic properties and the tremendous water temperature and the temperature up to 45 degrees.
The fourth day we went to visit the city of Madaba, home of the Byzantine mosaic SVI where were a map of the ancient cities of the Holy Land. Then we went to Mount Nebo, where it counts in the Old Testament from its summit Moses saw the promised land, and also contemplate some ancient mosaics. And the we went to Kerak to visit the imposing fortress of the time of the Crusades, but this time the castle was owned by the Christian band. An in the evening we arrived to Petra, where we visited the little Petra and prepared for tomorrow, the most exciting part of the trip.
The fifth day we visited the pink city of Petra: the amazing temple caved into the rock named "the treasure" and considered one of the seven wonders of the world with 40 meters high and nearly 30 in length. There, in the same area, we also saw the Roman Amphitheatre, the royal toms and also we went to the sacrifice mountain which in it saw a fantastic views of all Jordan.
The sixth day, in the morning we went to the desert of Wadi Rum where Lawrence of Arabia lived his best years and adventures. We were a total of 2 hours traveling through the desert, enjoying the quiet, the beauty of dunes and rocky mountains and having fun jumping the dunes with the jeep. Also we travelled on the backs of camels and we saw a beautiful sunset. And this same day, int he evening we slept there in tents, and we enjoyed watching the starry sky, and the fresh air of the desert
The seventh day and we left the desert and begin the path to return to Amman. We arrived in the afternoon, so we could have free time.
And finally in the eighth day, the last day of our holidays, we took a flight to Barcelona and we returned to our home. When we arrived we finished the last homework and we prepared for going to the school.
This is the end of my oral presentation I hope that you liked
