Israel
Israel is hot and has many deserts. People can ride camels to get to places cars can't go.
This is Israel's flag.
Israel has many beautiful sights. This is a picture of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem.
The Dead Sea
People come from all over the world to play in the mud of the Dead Sea.
Because of all the salt, it is easy for anyone to float in the Dead Sea.
The Dead Sea was given its name because of the large amount of salt in the water. With all that salt, nothing can live in the water.
Olives,Olives, Everywhere
Olives can be eaten alone or pressed into oil.
The olive is the symbol for peace in Israel.
There are many olive trees in Israel. Some of the olive trees in Israel are over 900 years old!
