Giv'ot Bar, Community settlement in Bnei Shimon Regional Council, Israel
Giv'ot Bar is a community settlement in the northern Negev desert built across rolling hills near Rahat. The residential areas are organized in separate neighborhood clusters that spread across the landscape.
The settlement was founded in 2004, beginning with mobile homes placed on designated land. From this start, it grew into a permanent residential community in the desert region.
Within Givot Bar, the Yuvaly HaNegev Regional Elementary School delivers educational programs that emphasize the connection between students and regional traditions.
The location sits on elevated terrain offering views across the surrounding hills of the Negev region. Visitors should expect warm conditions and dryness, particularly during the summer months.
The name translates to Grain Hills and references the agricultural wheat silos in surrounding farms and the settlement's elevated position. This naming reflects the connection between the local terrain and the region's earlier agricultural use.
