During our visit to the park, we saw different xerophyte plants like acacias and several shrubs. Some of them have flowers while others have tiny leaves and spines to minimize the loss of water by evapotranspiration.

Animals are harder to see, but if you pay close attention,
you may be able to see a white crowned wheater:
Look for lizards resting under the shadow of some plants or
in rock crevices.
Gazelles and Ibex engravings carved by ancient inhabitants
of the valley can be seen on the rock called “The Chariots”:
You can also see animal tracks like these feces, possibly produced
by a gazelle.
Bring tons of water if you visit the park because it is a
very limited resource in the area. This poor bird forgot its water bottle and had
a heat stroke:
I also found other critters in the valley:

| Owl shaped rock |
 |
| This face that reminds me of Munch's "The Scream". |
