Haifa: I live in Azraq. It is a city about 110 kiolmetres east of Amman. There is a very well- known castle in Azraq.
Abeer: How old is Azraq castle?
Haifa: it’s about 800 years old. Inside the castle there are many small rooms and there is a big door.
Abeer: That’s interesting.
Haifa: Yes, it is, but I prefer the nature reserve. In my opinion, it is the best place in Azraq. It is in the desert, but the nature reserve has many birds and plants.
Abeer: How old is the nature reserve?
Haifa: There were plants, animals and birds in Azraq thousands of years ago, but the nature reserve is about 40 years old.
Abeer: Is there a festival in Azraq?
Haifa: Yes, there is. Azraq Festival is in February. There is a craft market and there is a lot of delicious food. It’s my favourite event in Azraq.
Abeer: I enjoy festivals too.
Haifa: Would you like to visit me on Azraq one day?
