Qurqe'an Festival
    In my country ,there is a special festival called Qurqea'n . It's held on the 13th or 14th of Ramadan when the moon is full.  Children usually dress in traditional clothes and go around the neighborhood in groups holding  small bags and singing special songs. They put some candies and nuts in each child's bag . 
   The celebration brings happiness every Ramadan & encourage children to fast every year.

My city
      I was born & raised in Dammam. It is a beautiful city located on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia & It's the capital city of the eastern province. I like my city because It has beautiful beaches and a lot of  entertainment centres. There are many shopping malls & cafes. So, you don't have to worry about your free time.
      On the other hand , my city has some disadvantages. One is traffic jam. It is becoming a serious problem day after day. Nothing is worse than long lines of cars everyday. But we can solve this if we use alternative routes and change school schedules to avoid driving during the rush hours.  Moreover, living in industrial city has other problems like air pollution . I think that moving factories to the countryside can be a good solution.
      On the whole, my city has developed a lot recently & it is going to be one of the most important tourist attraction cities.
