Avdat National Park -- an important stop on the Incense Route, and a World Heritage Site, Avdat's Nabatean temple, which was converted into a church, reveals a fabulous Negev panorama, while its wine-press reveals the inhabitants' uncanny skill at cultivating the desert and ancient private dwellings and tombs complete the picture. The Uvda Valley -- containing over 150 prehistoric and early settlement sites, including the Nahal Asharun site and the Leopard Temple.
