I would like to write on a city I love, HOUN. It is a beautiful oasis in Libya desert. It locates in the center of Libya, south of Tripoli (the Capital) about 700km. The population of the city is 25,000 approximately.
It recognizes with a lot of palm trees, water springs and sand dunes. According to the history books the city founded in 1116. Due to extreme winds of sands, the people of the city transferred to the recent location in four stages. The last location where modern Houn is standing was the last stage in 1852.
The ancients of the old city locations are still preserved. Unfortunately, some of the previous are under the sands. The previous old city is recognized with an engineering style on the building, streets, arches and mosques. The old city was surrounding with long and high wall to protect the people and has had four big doors in each direction.
Houn, one of the best places in Libya for teaching and learning. It embosoms many Islamic scientists who made the culture foundation and bases especially for the Islamic education and Arabic language, as Alshankity, Alsoky, Alkhazmi and Alsharif Ahmed. Also, Houn has own scientists who graduate in Alazher university in Egypt and Alzytona university in Tunisia. They excel in many branches such as sciences, Islamic religion education, literatures, poets and artists as Hiddrah, Mazen, Haj Ahmed and Elkhair. That give such a reserve for develop the human resources until now.
Also, the city resounds with traditional made-hand products. Most of the products depend on the palm trees, palm leafs and fibers. In addition, the city is well known as Silver and Bronze well grave and made-hand products, needle point and stains products, wool cloths, leather bags and shoes, clay and lime products.
In last and not finally the long history of a resistance and struggle against the invader, Fascisti Italy, give honor medal and a great reflect of a proud feeling for the Houn people.
Houn now is a beautiful modern city with a new building, streets and manufacturing. All of that make the city such as a unique panorama with diversity in natural landscapes, ancient and modern scenes. I proud to be Hounian.

thanks of the information.
Hi Omar
Thank you for your valuable information about your beatiful Houn. when I reading your post, I understand you miss your home town. I like palm tree and her pleasant scent especially in spring. In south of Iran there is a large area the same as your Houn , and there are a lot of palm trees; also, I am familiar with cheese of palm that is very delicious and rare. I do not know what you called it in your country. I would like to get some information about Omar ALmokhtar who you stated about him in your outline. When I was in my country a few years ago, I watched a movie about him, and I rememder Antony Coin played a great role instead of Omar Almokhtar. I remember something about his bravery. could you please write more about him.
see you at class
