What do you think about traveling to Alexandria for the weekend holiday? The weather there right now is really nice.

ندى

An excellent idea! We want to go to Qaitbay Citadel and walk along the Corniche.

كريم

Yes, and we also have to eat fish at a good place. I know a restaurant there that makes amazing food.

ندى

How will we get there? Is the train faster or the car?

كريم

The train is better so we won't get delayed in the traffic. I'll book the tickets tomorrow morning.

ندى
، . .

Alright, and I'll book the hotel near the sea. It's going to be a really great trip.
