The Bedouin are Arab nomads who live in the deserts of Israel (and surrounding countries). They used to live a fully nomadic lifestyle, but since 1967 they have settling into towns in the northern Negev region. Visit them to experience their hospitality, cooking, rug weaving, and other aspects of their traditional lifestyle.

An archaeological site with impressive Byzantine remains of a city in the heart of the desert, where usually there are no natural water sources around – astonishing churches, homes and streets. Many interesting details about the site can be found on the park official website. The location is quite remote – a long drive, and the closest bus stop is 5 km away.
Ruins of the Byzantine city Futis (Φώτις).
