SHIVTA
– an ancient picturesque Nabatean city in the north of the Negev. This historical place is one of the most impressive archeological sites in Israel, in the light of its size and its state of preservation, which both allow hours of wandering around in this desert town, without any dull moment. In front of its massive vastness, it is very understandable why the archeologists speak about a real ancient city.

First, read some background historical material about Shivta, and then, walk the recommended two-hour route in the town.

Other Nabatean routes to hike in the Negev Desert are: Mamashit, Obdat, Nitzana, Avdat.
