Places to visit in Arad. Languages: ru, en

It's impressive to learn that it is one of the oldest cities on Earth and that the ancient city is located on a hill, with the fortress of the time of the Jewish kings situated even higher up.

The fact that the fortress defended the southern borders of Judea and opened the way north through Hebron to Jerusalem is also noteworthy and speaks to the location's strategic importance.

It's helpful to know that visitors should first climb to the fortress, where there is a parking lot, and then descend to the lower city - the oldest city in the Negev desert. This can help visitors plan their visit and ensure that they can see all of the important sites and attractions in the area.

Overall, Arad is a fascinating and historically significant city that offers valuable insights into the region's rich and diverse cultural heritage. It's important to approach such historical details with sensitivity and respect and to appreciate the city's inhabitants' contributions to the area's history and culture.
