on Arad

Arad is a unique and high-quality city, where a beautiful landscape, surrounded by solids and canyons, a dry climate known for its healing properties, meticulous urban planning, and an educated population are combined. It is located in the north of the Negev, near the Dead Sea, the largest and lowest natural spa in the world, 600 m above sea level on an area of approximately 93,000 dunams. In terms of jurisdiction, Arad is the third largest city in Israel after Jerusalem and Be’er Sheva). The uniqueness of the city is in its early planning before its construction. A team of experts in the urban and social field planned in advance the construction of the city from the physical point of view on the one hand, and from the social point of view, through the absorption of the residents, on the other hand. Two elements created a solid foundation for a strong community that has the power to attract newcomers and veterans.
