As we entered the pavilion we were struck by subdued atmosphere - atypical to Sigalit, and a masculine pavilion made of pipes, pump, a cave, water ladders, negotiating table, watermelons, shoes, and a video of salted lake.

The Israeli pavilion did not meet my expectations, but included interesting issues, nevertheless, like the big water issue and the unique proposal to build a 'Crystal Bridge' that will connect Israel and Jordan across the Dead Sea.
