Mayor’s Welcome Words
As a Mayor, it’s a pleasure to welcome you to Arad. Our charming city of 25,000 residents, is the place where urban amenities and desert tranquillity come together. We hope you will enjoy all the pleasures our city has to offer.
Visit our world-class attractions such as Masada UNESCO Heritage site and Tel Arad National Park.
Discover our numerous hiking trails, which are within a minute’s walk from the City Centre, with its ancient caves, fortresses and reservoirs.
Different trails are available for hiking, bicycle riding or jeep touring.
Bike or simply walk along our promenade, which invites you to take a breath and relax with the amazing view at Moav Lookout.
The city’s Artists’ Quarter includes one of a kind galleries and workshops. There you can talk to the artists about their work, and buy an original gift.
Arad is open for business. We are committed to continuing to find new ways to maximize the potential of this great community. We welcome visitors and new residents. We are proud of what we have built and where we live and I am honoured to be Mayor of our community.
Thank you for visiting us, we hope you will return soon.

Arad is located in the Eastern Negev and is accessible with public transportation from all of Israel’s main centres (Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva, Dead Sea). Arad’s location gives it a number of distinct advantages: to the east lies the Dead Sea, with its array of attractions; just to the north is the Judea Desert, and to the south lies the Eastern Negev, with its moon-like craters, breathtaking ridges, and timeless wades, while surrounding Arad on all sides lies endless picturesque desert.
Convenient, efficient public transportation is available to Arad region from many locations around Israel. The main bus routes are:
