Museum of Bedouin Culture

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:38:00

With the fast-paced social and technological changes of the 21st century, preservation of indigenous Bedouin culture is becoming increasingly important. This museum, which is located in the Joe Alon Center for Regional Studies, aims to promote Bedouin culture and heritage with exhibits that include traditional clothes, household utensils, carpets, tools, jewellery and photographs. There's also a hospitality tent where visitors can sit with a local Bedouin, drink coffee and talk.

The complex stands behind Kibbutz Lahav, near Kibbutz Dvir, 20km north of Be’er Sheva. Both are off a side road that intersects with Rte 31.
