Mamshit is situated 7km east of Dimona, alongside the main road to Eilat. Within the Park, that includes Mamshit Stream and its antique dams, lies the ancient Roman-Nabatean city of Mamshit. Most of its buildings were built during the Late Nabatean period, after 106 AD. Later the city was encompassed by a wall, whose gate can still be seen. The remains include coins, two large houses, a tower, a marketplace, a bathhouse and two Byzantine churches (5th century). As one of the towns along the Incense Route it was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 2005.
