Exploring Beersheba's huge underground water system, you'll gain new respect for the skill of the ancients in collecting every precious drop of water. It is through wise water use that modern Israel has made this vast southland bloom, as the Bible promised (Isa. 35:1).

With Beersheba as your gateway, you'll always remember your exciting tour of the Negev, where the comforting words of the angel who told Hagar in the vast expanses of this very wilderness, "do not be afraid" (Gen. 21:17), will take on new meaning for you.
