 | | Arad is a modern city in the South District of Israel, on the border of the Judean and Negev deserts, 25 km west of the Dead Sea and 45 km east of Beersheba, near the famous Masada (Metzada). |
 | | Arad is a thriving town, founded in 1962 by a group of young Israelis, most of them ex-kibbutzniks and ex-moshavniks who were seeking an environment free of the urban ills of overcrowding, traffic, noise, and pollution. |
 | | Arad spans an area of 90,000 dunams (90 km²), one of the largest municipal areas in Israel, even though its urban area is much smaller. |
