Last month we went on a weekend break to Farasan Island
on the (1) recommendation of my best friend.
What an (2) amazing place! It is off the
southern coast of the Jizan province and it’s a perfect
(3) location for scuba diving. Farasan doesn’t
have a wide range of (4) accommodation, so it’s
necessary to book ahead of time. We stayed at the Farasan
Hotel and were certainly very (5) satisfied
with the service. We arrived on Friday evening and
(6) immediately went to visit a beautiful old
mosque. The following day, I felt like staying in bed till late
and having a leisurely breakfast, but my friend had made
(7) arrangement for us to use a fishing boat to go
scuba diving, so we got up bright and early. I had never
been scuba diving before and I can say that it was one of
the most (8) thrilling experiences I have ever
had. Later that afternoon, we met some artists and we got
an (9) invitation to attend their exhibition in
the evening. It was great and we had a good time. We spent
the next day exploring the picturesque streets of the old
town. We had a fantastic weekend, and Farasan certainly
made a very good (10)impression on us!
