Israel: A Beautiful Country

By :Nicole E. Grade 9

Can you imagine a place where you can go from a beautiful forest to an amazing desert in less than 4 hours? Well I can because I live there. 

Israel is a picturesque small country with a lot of welcoming views starting from the snowy Hermon Mountain in the North to the Negev Desert in the South. As for me, I love all the views in Israel and fortunately I lived in almost all of them. When I was born I lived in the Lower Galilee in the North. Behind my house was a forest in which I, my friends, and family always liked to walk and play.  When I was seven I moved to the South where I live near the sea. The forest I used to play in switched to the quiet dunes by the sea.

Besides the places I was living in I also traveled in Israel. Every time I saw a new place or a view I was very fascinated even though I previously saw it in pictures. The breathtaking views from the Masada to the Dead Sea or the Judaean Desert; or the outstanding feeling of standing on the top of the Golan and seeing the whole Israel from there, are the things I would remember for  the rest of my life.

I love Israel very much, the people, the food but most of all I love the views.
