Ein Gedi - David Stream - Arugot Stream - The Dead Sea Travel Information

Ein Gedi National Park is located in The Dead Sea Valley, and includes two streams, in which water flows all year - David Stream and Arugot Stream. The water flow comes from four springs inside the park: David Spring (in the David stream canyon), Arugot Spring (in the Arugot Stream canyon), Shulamit Spring, and Ein Gedi Spring (both on the slopes between the two streams).
The amazing contrast between the dryness of The Dead Sea velley, and the waters that flow in Ein Gedi (about 3 Million cubic meters a year) create a diversity of flora and fauna.

Visiting the Ein Gedi National Park
Ein Gedi National Park has a wide variety of animals, starting from the Cape Hyrax (a small rabbit like animal), through the Nubian Ibex (a horned mammel), to even Leopards (though chances to see those are really scarce...)
