YEMENIA began flying on 1st January, 1961. In those days, it was a domestic airline. Its base was in Taiz and it flew to places like Aden, Hodeidah, Barat and Sana’a. It also flew to Djibouti and Asmara. The planes were DC-3s. Today, Yemenia is a modern international airline. It uses modern planes like the Boeing 727 and 737. In March 1997, Yemenia bought two Airbus 310 planes. These are among the most advanced planes in the world. On Yemenia, you can fly in comfort to the Gulf,Asia and Europe. GULF AIR was started in 1950 with one small plane flying between Bahrain, Doha, Sharjah and Dhahran. In 1974, the airline was bought by the governments of Bahrain, the UAE, Qatar, and Oman. At that time it was carrying 100,000 passengers a year. In 1995 the airline carried nearly 4 million passengers. Today you can get on a Gulf air plane in Hong Kong and get off in London. EMIRATES is the airline of the UAE. It began in October, 1985, flying to Egypt, India and Sri Lanka. In the first six months it carried 104,000 passengers. However, that was only the beginning. In 1986 it began flying to Jordan and Pakistan as well. Then, in July 1987, an Emirates Airbus landed in London. Emirates is now the fastest growing airline in the Gulf. 7 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/ 2.3 What do they do? What are their jobs? Match the texts to the pictures. I'm an air-hostess.

Then the wind hit us. I could see that things had changed. Now I could see the whole ship. It was no longer half buried in sand and mud. Mansour pointed to the middle of the ship. We swam down and in, into a treasure room. The colours had not changed in two thousand years. Beautiful gold and silver jewellery with red, green and blue stones lay everywhere. There were beautifully painted jars as well, some broken, but still whole. The next fourteen hours were the longest hours of my life. The wind howled around us. We could not hear each other even when we shouted. Huge mountains of water crashed heavily down on the boat. It began to fill up, so we grabbed anything that would hold water. We bailed for our lives hour after hour. At about two in the morning the wind began to drop. Cold and wet, we slept. The sun felt warm on my face. I opened my eyes sleepily. Mansour was making coffee. The sea was quiet. The waves had gone. The sharks had gone too.

You should go to the Lake District. It's got the highest mountains in England. I'd like to go fishing. Why not go fishing in Wales? It's very pleasant there. 38 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/  5.5 Tourist attractions Find these places on the map of Britain. What do the map and the pictures tell you about them? Hadrian's Wall Hadrian's Wall is one of the oldest and most interesting sights in Britain. It is almost 120 kilometres long and was built nearly 1,900 years ago in the time of the Emperor Hadrian, when England was ruled by the Romans. The wall was built to defend Northern Britain from the Scots and for a long time it was the border between Scotland and England. Soldiers lived in forts all long the wall. You can visit the ruins of these forts today and walk round where the soldiers lived, slept and ate. In the kitchens, you can still find pieces of old pots. The soldiers were paid in Roman money and, if you dig near one of the forts you may find some old coins. The Lake district This mixture of lakes and mountains is one of the most beautiful places in Britain. There are eight major lakes and dozens of smaller ones. England’s highest mountain and deepest lake are both here. The Lake District is one of the most famous tourist attractions in England. Thousands of people come to enjoy the scenery every year and many return year after year. Some go fishing or sailing on the bigger lakes. Others find walking and climbing in the mountains more exciting. Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland Some things to see Some things to do Ancient castle Go shopping in the city's famous Princes Street. Traditional Scottish dancing Find more unusual gifts in the little shops on The Royal Mile. Princess Street Gardens Attend the annual International Festival of music, art and The zoo drama. 39 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/  Morocco - 5.8 5.9 Sue White describes a family holiday. Who went with her? Marrakesh was our first stop. Anne and her father drove into the Atlas mountains. She took her climbing boots and Sam took his fishing rod. Peter and I wandered round the beautiful old city. In the evening we all sat in the Djemaa El Fna Square. All around us were musicians, dancers and story tellers. Above us was the famous minaret of the magnificent Koutoubia mosque. Our next stop was Casablanca. Anne and I lay on the beach in the sun. Peter spent the whole day in or on the water. Sam spent the day fishing. Last stop was Tangier. We visited the tomb of Ibn Battuta, but we spent most of our time in the souks. Beautiful pottery, magnificent gold and silver jewellery, superb leather jackets and skirts, lovely cotton and silk kaftans - the choice was endless, but, unfortunately, our money was not. It was time to leave Morocco. 40 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/ two holidays Tom Baker also went to Morocco on holiday. Did he go to the same places as the Whites? My plan was to see all of Morocco - one night here, two nights there, and so on for two weeks - but when I saw Fez, I stopped. Fez is the oldest town in the Kingdom and is famous for its old buildings. I saw many mosques and visited the ancient university and the Mesbahia school - all superb examples of Islamic architecture. However, I went to Fez mainly to see its wonderful souk. I watched craftsmen making traditional wooden chests, just like their fathers used to do. The chests were covered with leather held by hundreds of copper nails. I bought gold bracelets, a silver tray and silk shirts. The smell of strong spices filled the air. Some people say Fez is the most interesting town in Morocco. I cannot say. I did not see the magnificent beaches of Agadir or the endless desert in the south. They can wait until next year. Discussion Where would you go in Morocco? What would you do there? 41 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/ 5.11 5.12 Around Yemen Yemen is a wonderful place for a holiday. It has something for everyone. Talk about these pictures of some of the things tourists can see and do In Yemen. Can you suggest any more or better ones? Some highlights of a visit to Yemen. A Shibam This town is famous for its tall houses, built or mud. Some have 8 floors and a few are over 300 years old. B Aden Here tourists should visit the National Museum where they can see superb exhibits of ancient Arabian cultures. C Wadi Dahr The magnificent Palace on the Rock was built in the 1930s. There are wells inside, dug through the rock. D Jibla Some say this is the most beautiful town in Yemen. The Great Mosque here was built in 1088 by queen Arwa, who ruled the Sulayhid State for 70 years. E Sana'a Sana’a is the capital of Yemen. The old walled city contains a fascinating collection of ancient souks, mosques and traditional houses. F The sea off Sirah Island One of Yemen's greatest attractions is its beautiful coast. You can enjoy local fish, caught daily, in Aden's excellent fish restaurants. Plan a trip round Yemen for a visitor from Britain. What do you think the visitor should see? Why? 42 http://www.e-learning-moe.edu.ye/  5.13 Famous explorers Throughout history, extraordinary men have old stories.
