The City of Arad (13 Feb, 2008)

Located 25 km west of the Dead Sea and 45 km east of the city Beersheba. The city was founded in 1963 as the last established development town and the first pre-planned city in Israel. The city is notable for its clean, dry air and serves as a major attraction to asthma patients worldwide. Biblical Arad is located approximately 8 km from moderen Arad (visit to there have been uploaded earlier). Its close proximity to the Dead Sea, Masada and the nearby hiking routes make it a tourist attarction spot.
