Arad Hebrew, ערד (http://www.arad.muni.il/) is a small city in Israel that lies on the border between the Negev desert and the Judean Desert. It is also the name commonly given to Tel Arad, the site of the ancient city of Arad some 10 km east of the modern city centre. Arad is a great centre for hiking and exploring the desert regions of Israel south of the capital Jerusalem.
