More about the place
Nahal Arugot is one of the largest streams in the Judean Desert, flowing into the Dead Sea just north of Kibbutz Ein Gedi. In its final stretch, it flows year-round through a deep canyon thanks to springs that bubble up in its channel, lined with willow trees, poplars, and reeds. Herds of ibex and rock hyraxes live around the stream. From the reserve's parking lot—entry requires a fee and advance registration—a trail heads along the stream to pools and waterfalls, including the 'Hidden Waterfall' and the 'Upper Pools'.
