The remains of two ancient settlements can be found at this archaeological site 13km northwest of the modern city of Arad. The lower city was inhabited in the Early Bronze Age (3150–2200 BCE) and the upper city was first settled in the Israelite period (1200 BCE). Highlights include the remains of an Israelite temple.

To reach the site from Arad, take Hwy 31 and turn right (north) at the Tel Arad junction onto Hwy 80 (direction: Jerusalem).
