“The four Nabatean towns of Haluza, Mamshit, Avdat and Shivta are spread along routes linking them to the Mediterranean end of the incense and spice route. Together they reflect the hugely profitable trade in frankincense and myrrh from south Arabia to the Mediterranean, which flourished from the 3rd century BC until the 2nd century AD.” More information via the World Heritage Centre.
