![[Municipality of Arad (Israel)]](../images/i/il-arad.gif) image by Željko Heimer | 2:3     Emblem adopted 19th May 1966 |
See also:
Arad is situated in the border of Judea desert, 25 km west
from the Dead Sea and 37 Kms east of Be'er
Sheva, just next to the famous Massada (Metzada)
Mount. Est. 1962 and has 27,000 inh. Named after a Biblical town
located in Tel-Arad.
The flag of Arad is a logo on white as implied from the tiny flag
on a photo at the city
website. The municipal emblem was published in the official
gazette (Rashumot, Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP 1277, 19 May
1966, for the then Local Council Arad.

I received a letter from municipality with the correct emblem,
showing minor colour differences from the one in the city website. The flame
represents the gas found in the area and the hill represents
Mount Kidod (600 m) which the town is built upon.
Sources: letter from Ms. Shula Shokaty, city spokesman
secretary, 11 September 2001; desk flag.

The flag is really emblem on light blue with inscription in
Hebrew (above) and English (below).

Here's a photograph
from wikipedia
of the flag. Unless I am mistaken, the background is white. Also,
I've never seen the flag with English text, although I could be
wrong about that.

This is probably the previous flag as reported above. However,
when I visited Arad in 2003, the flag was as the above.
