رابط الدرس الرقمي 8 Reading Before Reading www.ien.edu.sa With a partner, write down what you know about Al-Hijr. THE STONES OF AL-U وزارة التعليم To: qassim_n@space.net Subject: School trip to Al-Ula Hi Qassim, I'm writing this email from our hotel in Al-Ula. We arrived this evening after a long bus journey from Madinah. It's really too bad you couldn't join us on our school trip. We're going to learn so much about the historical sites that we can't learn in books. It's quite busy here in town, with tourists from all over the world who have come to visit Mada'in Saleh. Tomorrow a guide is going to show us around the site. We're also going to visit the museum, Al-Ula oasis, and the old abandoned city. The archaeological site lies about 20 km north of the town. It's also known as Al-Hijr because of the spectacular rock formations in the area. As you know, the site was settled by the Nabataeans in the first century. There are over 100 rock-carved monuments that are spread over an area of 13.4 kilometers, and due to the dry climate, they are in an excellent state of preservation. The site was included in UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2008 because of its cultural and architectural importance. The desert around the oasis is covered by natural rock formations. Hundreds of curious shapes were carved by the wind into the soft sandstone, one of which resembles a giant elephant! The old city of Al-Deerah is going to be very interesting. It has over 500 houses from the 13th century, with stone foundations and mud-brick walls. Some of the stones were taken from the ruins of a Lihyanite⚫ settlement and still carry the ancient inscriptions. There is also a unique sundial that the inhabitants used to determine the start of Ramadan. Don't worry. I'll take lots of amazing pictures to show you! Best wishes, After Reading Mark the things that Adel is going to do in Al-Ula. 1. ride an elephant 2. go rock climbing Ministry of Education 2024-1446 SG_02_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 111 Adel FYI Lihyan was an ancient civilization in northwestern Arabia that existed about 2,500 years ago. 3. see amazing scenery 4. visit tombs 56 5. go to a museum carve sandstone 111 30/4/24 12:06 AM
