  2. Hello! Hi! My name is Jamila, and I am 12 years old. My religion is Arabic and I speak Arabic too.

Get ready to تعلم (learn)!

They run from the northern area of my country to the southern area, about 100 miles long. • Another known range in my country is the Anti-Lebanon Range. It runs along our eastern border.
