We study the qualitative behavior of the following exponential system of rational difference equations:xn+1 = αe-yn+βe-yn-1/γ+αxn+βxn-1, yn+1 = α1e-xn+β1e-xn-1/γ1+α1yn+β1yn-1, n = 0,1,…,whereα,β,γ,α1,β1, andγ1and initial conditionsx0,  x-1,  yo, and y-1are positive real numbers. More precisely, we investigate the boundedness character and persistence, existence and uniqueness of positive equilibrium, local and global behavior, and rate of convergence of positive solutions that converges to unique positive equilibrium point of the system. Some numerical examples are given to verify our theoretical results.
