Sail down the Nile, spot a pyramid, and taste crispy falafel. Cairo is bursting with stories to explore!

From ancient wonders to riverboat rides, this reading comprehension pack brings the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of Egypt’s capital to life.
With three reading levels (Starter, Standard, and Stretch), the texts support confident progression. Early versions focus on retrieving facts, sequencing ideas, and understanding key vocabulary. As skills grow, readers build inference, explore word meaning in context, and begin to reflect on the author’s purpose and viewpoint.
Across all versions, learners discover that Cairo is the capital of Egypt and lies in Africa. They learn that the Nile River flows through the city and that the Pyramids of Giza are world-famous landmarks. They explore how Arabic is spoken, flatbread and falafel are enjoyed, and Eid al-Fitr is celebrated after a month of fasting. Along the way, they see how tourists visit Cairo to experience its ancient history, vibrant culture, and hot summer weather.

What’s included:

  • 3 black-and-white reading texts at increasing challenge
  • Matching comprehension questions with clear progression
  • Full answer key with skill tags for quick marking
  • Traffic light self-assessment to support reflection

Perfect for geography links, cultural curiosity, or a classroom journey down the Nile!
