Arad Hotels
Located at the crossroads of the Negev and Judean Deserts, Arad stands as an enchanting Israeli town just 25 kilometers (16 miles) from the Dead Sea. Arad can serve as the ideal gateway for a visit to the National Park of Masada, which offers visitors the opportunity to climb up this ancient fortress via the Roman Ramp on its western flank. Despite its desert locale, Arad boasts a surprising array of high-quality hotels, each offering elegance and a real connection to the tranquil desert surroundings.
