It is located at the eastern edge of Ovda Valley, 35km (22miles) north of the Gulf of Elat and 5km (03miles) west of Arabah Rift valley.[1] Excavations carried out by Avi Gopher and Nigel Goring-Morris in Nahal Issaron in 1980 uncovered remnants of an early pastoralist settlement belonging to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period.
