The settlement was occupied by Israel in 1980 and moved to its present site in 1986 following the Egypt–Israel peace treaty.[1] It was named for its proximity to the Sinai, as well as after biblical Kadesh Barnea, one of the stations on the Israelites' journey during the Exodus.[2]
Barnea is a modern dual-purpose olive cultivar bred originally from Kadesh Barnea in southern Israel to be disease-resistant and to produce a generous crop. The oil has a strong flavour with a hint of green leaf. Barnea is widely grown in Israel (especially in the south) and in the southern hemisphere, particularly in Australia and New Zealand.
