UNIT 4 LESSON 1 MY VISIT TO ELEPHANTINE ISLAND Listen and read the postcard. Where did Nagwa go? Aswan Botanical Garden Temple of Philae Hi Dalia! How are you? I'm missing you! I'm on Elephantine Island and it's the most fantastic place! It's in Aswan and there's lots to see. Yesterday, I was traveling by boat to the island with my friends. We were trying to understand the 'Elephantine' name. - we think it's the shape! Elephantine Island is the oldest part of Aswan. In fact, all the island is full of history. After that, we went to the Aswan Museum. We were looking at all the old things from the island when we found a very rare calendar from the reign of Thutmose III. But it's not only about history - it's a beautiful and calm place. There's no traffic, so it's very quiet, and the air is clean. We can go for long walks. There are no forests but there are lots of trees, so it's quite green. The sunsets are fantastic, particularly from a felucca. We were walking in one of the Nubian villages this morning. They have beautiful brightly decorated houses. We had lunch there looking at the Nile.Tomorrow is our last morning, so we're going to walk to the Tombs of the Nobles through the desert.
