DescriptionRemains of Rehovot-in-the-Negev, Ruḥeiba in Arabic. During
the Nabataean era, this was the second largest city along the northeast–south
Nabataean spice route. The importance of the settlement was due to its location
in the center of the Ḥalutza–Nitzana–Sinai trade route. In the fifth century,
during the Byzantine era, the city’s population was over 10,000. The city is
now located on sand dunes close to the Egyptian border and encircled by closed
military live-fire training zones, operative during weekdays.
