While today people are mostly thinking about the area traditionally known as "the Holy Land" in terms of Jews and Palestinians, there once were other significant people living there, leaving their marks of the lands.
One of those people was the Nabataeans, an Arab people known for being in control of the incense route and particularly to have been the people building the amazing desert city Petra.
Another fascinating city they built, in the middle of the desert in Negev, is Ovdat. I'm working on a project about this amazing place and I'd like to invite you to take a look at it and get to understand it better. This is a crucial part of the history of this place, which helps us to better understand the evolution of how things became as they are today eventually, even if it happened 2000 years ago!

Work in process. Here I will be adding information on the Nabataean settlement of Ovdat, found on the historical Incense Route in the Negev,
