Ein Gedi

If you want to do something really fun, you should go to Ein Gedi. Ein Gedi is a nature reserve in Israel next to the Dead Sea. It is in the middle of the desert, high in the mountains, but inside it is an oasis. There are many waterfalls, streams, plants, trees, and tons of animals. We went on a great hike and saw many things. One great thing that we saw was David's waterfall. It is the biggest waterfall in Wadi David. We played in the water and enjoyed the beautiful scenery. We also hiked to the ancient synagogue. It is a very small original excavated synagogue from the 6th century. We saw remains of old houses, a street, and a mikveh. The floor of the synagogue was mosaic. It had inscriptions. Ein Gedi is an amazing place, and maybe some day you'll have the chance to see it, too.
