      Hi جبل الصمت

      Thanks for your reply, but let's talk in details about the most things you admired in Calgary city,, and that person could be a friend as well,,,

      Ok from my part I'll talk about my experience,,,

      Well I have met very few interested people and
      who really impressed me and they are still my
      close friends so far.
      But the most place I'm really fascinated by is Cairo the city of 1000 minarets and most city that famous of the Islamic civilization.The first mosque ever to be built in Egypt was simple in design. It was built by Ibn El-A'as in 642CE, on a site north of Fort Babylon, The Citadel of Salaheddin (Saladin), built on a spur of the Muqattam Hills, It was once Cairo's seat of power for succeeding caliphs, sultans, wazirs and pashas until the time of Mohammed Ali in the 19th century CE. The Marble Mosque of Mohammed Ali is the highest point within the complex. The Mosque and Mausoleum of Sultan Hassan is one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in the world. Ibn Touloun Mosque should not be missed. Situated in the Sayida Zainab district, this mosque was built by Emir Ahmed Ibn Touloun in 879CE. Al-Muayyad Mosque, this is by no means an outstanding piece of architecture but it has a pleasant interior surrounded by a garden. Another interesting complex is the Madrassah (Qur'anic school), which was built by the 13th century Sultan Kalawoon. The strong, square lines of the Wekalet Al-Ghori typify a Maluk building. It is now a cultural centre with workrooms for artists, a handicraft school for boys, and houses a display of handicrafts from Egyptian desert tribes. The Al-Azhar Mosque lies to the east of Wekalet Al-Ghori, and is the earliest mosque of Cairo's Fatimid era. Built by Gawhar Al-Saqqalli on the orders of Caliph Al-Muizz in 970CE,The mosque has three minarets, the first of which was built in the days of Sultan Kunsuwa El-Ghori (1510CE). Sultan Qait Bey built an earlier minaret in the 15th century. The third minaret was built by Emir Abdel Rahman Katkhoda, one of the 18th century rulers of Cairo. The Azhar Mosque is also one of the
      world's most ancient Islamic universities -- the first lecture to be delivered there was in 975CE. A large modern mosque with Turkish style minarets lies on the northern side of the Al-Azhar Mosque.
      This is the Mosque of Sayyidna Al-Hussein, Past the 19th century Mosque of Sulayman Agha Alsilahdar, you will find on the right the Mosque of Al Hakim. This was built by the Fatimid Caliph Al Hakim (996-1021) and is situated outside the original northern wall of the Fatimid city. The mosque's most impressive features are its minarets, with their massive, trapezoidal bases. Beyond the northern side of the Al Hakim Mosque stand two monumental gates -- Bab Al Futuh and Bab Al Nasr. These gates, with an intervening stretch of wall, are the most imposing relics of Fatimid Cairo. From a vantage point at the top of the wall one can look down into the main street, which is lined with shops all the way to the Bab Zuwayla. Here rises a forest of slender spires
      which lends Cairo its uniquely Muslim atmosphere and its most appropriate name: "City of a Thousand Minarets".

          Hello dear yasmeen


          Thanks a lot for sharing us your experience...I hope I can be to Macca and Madeena in shallah,,,

          Well, as an idea for you and other members, we can surf the net and collect information about a place we visited, just to gather as many vocabulary as we can so we can present a topic about that place and learn new vocabulary as well..


          What do you think about that

          My Best Regards

                Here I'm .. I'm going to talk about my little experience in my life about places and people

                Once, I have visited an interesting city in England. It's called Brighton. Its location in the southern part of England. It's a coastal city and that's one of its interests. I stayed there for a month and it was one of my favourite month I had in my life. The city was amazing with the nice weather there and the design of the buildings and the streets. I also liked the organization there of everything. The way of transportation by buses there was so interesting because I have never tried it once. The way of life between foreigners speak different languages not only english and they communicate with eachother by English. You can find many things for entertainment. There was a big amusement located in charming place. It based on a pier on the sea. So you can have a good time with the games and enjoy the view of the sea. There are many restaurants even Arabic restauraunts. You can your enjoyment easily there.

                There I had met a person that I got impressed by her. I didn't realize that until we seperated. She was a girl from poland. we were living in the same family host. She asked me about the family's policy. then we became friends. everyday our friendship had been developing. i started to feel free to talk with her as she is my sister or as we knew eachother for long time. I hardly can trust anybody and tell him my secrets. she succeeded and she entered my heart quickly. After we left eachother, i had this feeling of need to see her again. but anyway we still in touch via internet


                About Italy yasmeen, I would like also visit this country. My old sister has visited Italy this year and she said it was amazing to be there. anyway we still have the life to visit it once.

                    Hello Yasmeen, Corvett


                    I entirely agree with you, this topic can have several views,,

                    for me I really wish to visit Macca oneday and pray in Al 7aram and touch Al Ka3ba..
                    I also would like to visit all arabic countries and see the ancient places there,, also I'de like to visit Italy and Euorpean countries in general...

                    I also wish to meet people who really realise the value of books and keen to learn everything.


                    لمن لم يشاركنا , حاولت في هذا المقال أن أبرز بعضا من تجارب الحياة التي مررنا بها و ذلك من خلال الحديث عن أحد الأمكنة التي قمنا بزيارتها أو من خلال أشخاص قابلناهم في حياتنا و أثروا فينا, و فضلت الكتابة باللغة الإنجليزية لأن الهدف هو التدرب على التعبير باستخدام اللغة الإنجليزية, فعندما بدأت أتعلم هذه اللغة الشيقة كانت أول نصيحة من المدرس هي التعود على التفكير باللغة الإنجليزية عند الحديث أو الكتابة عن موضوع ما باللغة الإنجليزية و ذلك يتم عن طريق القراءة باستمرار في مواضيع مختلة باللغة الإنجليزية و أيضا استخدام قاموس إنجليزي - إنجليزي عند البحث عن معاني الكلمات...

                    هناك بعض المواقع التي توفر معلومات عن الدول و التي استعنت بها عند بحثي عن معلومات عن القاهرة كالموقع التالي:
                    http://www.countryreports.org/

                    I still hope many others can share us their experience..

                    My Best Regards
