Near the kibbutz Avnat, archaeologists have discovered an ancient settlement. It is one of the cities of Midian. The ruins date back to the Hasmonean and Herodian periods. Archaeologists have found an old pier for ships, but for security reasons, the site is fenced and inaccessible to travelers.
The hiking trail from Kibbutz Avnat to the Einot Tsukim Nature Reserve is gorgeous in spring. Many herbs bloom in ravines along the path, and the entire desert is covered with an unusual green carpet. Kalia beach is well equipped and pleasant all the time of the year. After a hiking trail, natural mud on the seashore will be pretty relaxing.
