Beskrivning
The Ein Gedi natural park has a rich flora and fauna, rocks and waterfalls. It is a real oasis in the dry desert. Two rivers (wadis) run through the green valleys that provide a stark contrast to the arid desert landscape in the area. Desert wildlife of Ein Gedi includes Nubian ibex, red fox, jackal, rock hyrax, dorcas gazelles, fat-tailed scorpion (aggressive and very toxic, but thankfully nocturnal). The rift valley running through Israel is a migration pinch point where 50,000 vit stork, 400,000 Bivråk, 140,000 mindre skrikörn pass through in spring and autumn, along with shrikes, terns, flamingoes, egrets, aftonfalk, Fiskgjuse, sporrvipa, småspov and many more. Plant life includes tamarisk, baobab and several cactus species.
In the irrigated kibbutz area, bee-eaters, grackles, Härfågel, arabskriktrast and Trädgårdsbulbyl may be seen.
The path up to the waterfall is precarious and requires agility. Always take plenty of water and avoid midday heat. The circular route marked on the map is about 10 km, with 700 feet of ascent.

I second the choice to walk the Nahal Arugot rather than the Nahal David (which is the more touristy path)! On the plus side, you can even walk within the Nahal Arugot parts of the way which is a nice refreshment!
