Founded in 1972 and declared a city in 1994, Rahat is the largest Arab city in Israel and, by its own account, the only Bedouin city in the world — a distinction that sets it apart from any other urban destination in the region. Located in Israel's Southern District, it sits within the broader Negev landscape, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region and mountains within reach.
