Desert Projects

Today we were delighted to see three more projects by our ever so creative Grade 1 students: Ali, Asser, and Maryam.

All the projects show us the desert, a landform so common here in Egypt and in Oman.

Apart from the Nile Valley, the majority of Egypt's landscape is desert, with a few oases scattered about.

 A vast gravel desert plain covers most of central Oman,

with mountain ranges along the north  and southeast coast.
