Each semester on "free" days, groups of students makes arrangements to go snorkeling to the Gulf of Aqaba located at the southern most point of Israel. There was a small group of students who for one reason or another could not go. They asked us if we would be willing to take them on a "field" trip. Of course, we were happy to "make their day". They wanted to go to the Dead Sea and we suggested that we include En Gedi since the two locations are right next to each other. Today, EIN GEDI is a Nature reserve located on the eastern edge of the Judean Desert near the shore of the Dead Sea. Two wadis (dry river beds) deliver spring water from rain fall in the Judean Mountains and seeps into the underground water table. It is a beautiful oasis in the Judean Mountains.
