Arad, Israel: A Vibrant City in the Negev Desert
Arad is a modern city in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, located about 103 kilometers east of Jerusalem and about 50 kilometers north of the Dead Sea, where the desert meets the oasis, making it one of the transportation and economic hubs of southern Israel. Founded in the 1960s to receive immigrants, the city has grown into a multicultural city with a population of about 24,000 and is known for its inclusiveness and innovative spirit. Arad is surrounded by a wealth of natural and historical resources: with Masada National Park (a World Heritage Site) to the west, and the Dead Sea and the Ngodi Desert to the east, it is an ideal base for exploring the desert landscape, floating in the Dead Sea and hiking. The city's internationally acclaimed Arad Music Festival attracts visitors from all over the world. With its pleasant desert climate, clean air and unique location, Arad has become an important center of tourism, science and technology, and agricultural innovation in Israel, blending the energy of a modern city with the charm of the natural wilderness.
