Facts and practical information

Ein Farah or 'Ayn Fara, known in Hebrew as En Prat, is a spring located at the head of Wadi Qelt, 325 metres above sea level, between Jerusalem and Jericho in the West Bank. Until 1970, the water of the spring was pumped to supply Jerusalem. Since the 1970s it is part of the Israeli En Prat nature reserve. The spring flows into a natural rock pool, and its output creates a brook that flows all year round. ()
