Last night I watched a nice TV show on the MBC. The show was about "The Eiffel Tower” in Paris. This tower is one of the most popular places in the world. Every year, more than two million tourists visit this iron tower. It was built in 1889 by a French engineer. It is 300 meters high, and weighs up to 7000 tons. It was considered the tallest building in the world.
The Eiffel Tower was one of the first buildings in the world to have
a passenger elevator. This elevator allowed visitors to see the beautiful gardens and buildings around the Tower. The Eiffel Tower is now loved by French citizens, and has become the symbol of Paris.
