About Arad (Israel)
Tel Arad, the site of the ancient city of Arad, is located some 10km west of the modern city centre. Arad is a great centre for hiking and exploring the northeastern part of theNegevdesert. Modern Arad was founded in 1962 by young Israelis, most of them ex-kibbutzniks and ex-moshavniks, who were seeking an environment free of the urban ills of overcrowding, traffic, noise and pollution. Although not noted for its great beauty, the town's growth has closely followed a well-designed master plan. Arad's present population is approximately 28,000 (2003 estimate) and reflects the broad spectrum of Israeli society with a special emphasis on recent immigrants.
