Imagine you're in the middle of a dessert, it's hot and there's no vegetation anywhere and suddenly between some rocks there's a beautifull green place with a waterfall. It's magical. It's called Ein Gedi. A beautifull place in the middle of the Judean dessert, Israel. It's a place worth looking for.
