South District

South District has served as Israel’s southern frontier since 1948. Covering much of the Negev, it extends from the Mediterranean coast near Ashkelon across dry uplands and the Beer Sheva basin towards the Arava and the Red Sea at Eilat. Its terrain includes the Makhtesh Ramon erosion crater, while the Dead Sea forms part of its eastern boundary. Beer Sheva, widely regarded as the Negev’s principal city, lies near Tel Be’er Sheva, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed biblical tell. Bedouin communities remain an important part of the Negev’s social fabric. Find related webcams in the surrounding area to build a fuller picture of Israel’s South District.
