Arad Is Still Unknown but More Tourists Are Coming

Arad isn’t the most well-known place in Israel, but slowly more tourists are coming. This influx stems from those who have been there sharing their experience. It makes it a place other travelers add to their agenda. This area wasn’t settled until 1965 and today it only has about 25,000 people living here.

The air here is said to be very clean, and people with severe asthma come here from locations around the world to see if they can breathe more easily. Many of them are able to do so and decide to make it their permanent home.

This is an old city area to the west. There is a market there on the weekends where you can buy fresh produce, or alternatively you can enjoy the handmade items on offer. There are paintings and sculptures and plenty of inside views into the culture of this region. At night, there is music and dancing.

As you get deeper in, there are branches leading to more difficult trails if you desire.
