Avdat is an ancient Nabatean city located in the Negev Desert of Israel. It was a significant stop on the Incense Route, which was the trade route for frankincense and myrrh from Arabia to the Mediterranean. The city flourished from the 3rd century BCE until its decline in the 7th century CE. Avdat features impressive ruins, including a well-preserved acropolis, a Byzantine church, a Roman bathhouse, and various residential buildings.
