El Kowm
El Kowm is a very interesting place. It is a town in the desert in Syria.
Now El Kowm is in the desert, but a long time ago there was grass there. It
is between two mountains. It is 240 kilometres north east from Damascus.
Scientists are working in El Kowm because it is very old. They think that
people lived in El Kowm thousands of years ago. There was water in
El Kowm, so people wanted to live there. Scientists think there were
many animals in El Kowm.

A journey from Istanbul to Damascus
I travelled from Istanbul to Aleppo on the Toros Express. The train
usually leaves on Sunday. It arrives thirty hours later. The countryside
is very beautiful. On the way, we saw the mountains. In Aleppo, we
visited the souk. I bought a silver ring for my mother and a cotton skirt
for my sister. We also saw the citadel. We stayed in a beautiful hotel.
We travelled by car to Palmyra in the morning. We stopped in Hama.
We travelled through the desert. I think it is very beautiful. Palmyra is
very interesting. It is very old. I bought some postcards to send to my
grandparents and my uncle and aunt. From Palmyra, we travelled to
Damascus by car. Damascus is hotter than Aleppo. We saw the mosque.
We ate ice cream. We went to the souk. I bought a wooden box for my
aunt and a leather handbag for my cousin, Lubna.
