Petra The Hidden City
Petra in Jordan is an old, hidden city in the middle of a rocky desert. To find
the hidden city, visitors walk along a path between high rock walls in the
mountains. At the end of the path, there is a wonderful view.
A group of people called the Nabateans built Petra about 2,500 years ago. For
about 500 years, Petra was a capital city and there were a lot of people. The
buildings were inside the rocks. They were like big, beautiful caves.
Years later, the Nabateans left Petra. For hundreds of years, the city was empty.
But in 1812, a Swiss explorer called Johann Ludwig Burckhardt was the
first European visitor to the city.
In 1989, Petra was in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. After that,
the city was famous all over the world.
Today, some people call Petra the Rose-Red City. As you walk through the city,
you can still see the beautiful buildings. Petra is one of the seven wonders

1. I'm Mehmet and I'm from Turkey. Turkish food is delicious and it's

healthy, too. We eat a lot of fresh vegetables like peppers, onions and

aubergines. We also eat a lot of meat, lentils, beans, yoghurt and nuts. In
 the summer, the weather is very hot, so we often eat light meals with

lots of vegetables and fruit.

My favourite dish is kebab. It's a traditional Turkish dish, and it's

traditional in lots of other countries, too. You can have doner kebabs or

shish kebabs. A doner kebab is meat cooked in a large block. You cut small

pieces of meat from the block and put it in a piece of flat bread called a pita.

A shish kebab is pieces of meat cooked on a stick. I usually put some

tomatoes, onions, cucumber and yoghurt in the pita with my meat. Kebabs

are very tasty!

2. My name's Arisa. I'm from Thailand. At meal times, we eat soups,

salads, curries and fried dishes. We usually have a dessert, too. Some

Thai dishes are very spicy. We sometimes have spicy food for breakfast,

too. I like curry and rice with an egg on top for breakfast!

My favourite Thai dish is mango and sticky rice. It's a very sweet dish.

You cook the rice with coconut milk and brown sugar. Then you make a

sauce with more coconut milk and sugar. You put the rice and some fresh

mango on a plate, then you put some of the sauce on top. You can eat it hot

or cold. I often make mango and sticky rice with my grandma. We eat it for

dessert, or for a treat on a hot day. It's delicious!
