Describe a memorable journey you have taken. Well, back when I was 20 years old, my friends Ahmed, Khalid, and I visited Egypt during summer vacation. The first thing we did was go to the pyramids. Although I had been there once, I was completely stunned by the incredibly well-structured pyramids. Secondly, we went to Alexandria to explore its streets and pristine beaches. Currently, I am looking back at the unforgettable memories we made there, and I make Egypt my top choice for summer vacation every year. One day, I would like to explore all around Egypt. I am also planning to take my uncle Ali there because I am absolutely certain he will be overjoyed.
