Text and translation

Last Saturday, we visited a city near the coast. We arrived before lunch and walked to the harbour. A local guide showed us the old streets. We bought some bread and ate beside the water. In the afternoon, we went to a small museum. We returned home on the last train.

زرنا يوم السبت الماضي مدينة قرب الساحل. وصلنا قبل الغداء ومشينا إلى الميناء. أرانا مرشد محلي الشوارع القديمة. اشترينا بعض الخبز وأكلنا بجانب الماء. ذهبنا بعد الظهر إلى متحف صغير. عدنا إلى المنزل في القطار الأخير.
