Mike Robinson is a fifteen-year-old American boy and his sister Clare is fourteen. At the moment, Mike and Clare are in Cairo in Egypt, one of the biggest and busiest cities in Africa.

They moved here with their parents two years ago. Their father, Peter, works for a very

big company. The company has offices in many countries, and it has sent Peter to work in Germany, France and China before. Peter usually stays in a country for about two years. Then the company moves him again. His family always goes with him.

The Robinsons love seeing the world. They have been to many interesting places. For example, in Egypt, they have seen the Pyramids，travelled on a boat on the Nile River, and visited the palaces and towers of ancient kings and queens.
