Exploring Egypt

Dear family and friends,

We just left Rio de Janeiro and we just arrived in Cairo, Egypt. We went to see the Nile river. which is the longest river in the world. There are enormous crocodiles that live in the Nile River. Egyptians can get water easier if they live close to the river. This helps them cool down because it's really hot here.

This is a crocodile from the Nile River

There are three main pyramids in Egypt where the Egyptians buried the three pharos. The pyramids are made out of stone blocks and took a very long time to build. They are in the shape of a rectangular pyramid.

Egyptians write their name from right to left instead of left to right. Sophia's mom Rania came into our class today to teach us about this. She told us that Egyptians invented a kid of paper called papyrus.
