Once upon a time in a faraway land,
A desert of gold with no water to stand,
There stood a dynasty, great and strong,
With an empire that lasted oh so long.

Their pharaohs were powerful, their pyramids tall,
A true wonder to see, standing so tall.
Their oasis was scarce, but it brought relief,
To those who were lost and filled with grief.

The dunes were high and the sun was hot,
But the people thrived, no matter what.
They followed Islam, a religion so pure,
With faith in their hearts, they could endure.

Tourism came and the world was amazed,
By the sights and sounds that left them dazed.
The peninsula was a gem, a treasure to behold,
With stories and legends that never grow old.

So let's celebrate this land of wonder,
Where history and culture will never sunder.
A place where the past and future meet,
A land of magic, a true desert treat.
