Idan

Idan

Idan (Hebrew: עידן) is the northernmost moshav in southern Israel. It belongs to the Central Arava Regional Council.

It was founded in 1980 by immigrants to Israel from Canada and the United States. It is named for Idan creek, which flows near the moshav. The original settlers have mostly abandoned the remote community in the years since, and only one family remains from that group.Fact|date=January 2008

As of 2006, the moshav is home to 65 families. They sustain themselves through agriculture and tourism.

Between Idan and Hatzeva is a service road, called Peace Route. Keren Kaymeth LeIsrael paved the Peace Route, along the border between Israel and Jordan, for the benefit of central Arava inhabitants. The border was determined in 1922, during the British Mandate, and was marked following the Peace Treaty with Jordan in 1994. The route runs along the foot of the Arava Cliffs, opposite the Edom Mountains, and is surrounded by agricultural fields and sandy expanses. A picnic area, lookouts and a trail have been built along the way. The Havarim Road (Bad land Road) marked in blue, and Hazeva Reservoir can be reached from the road. The route crosses several wadis (dry streambeds): Shezaf Arava and Neqarot, and borders on the Shezaf Nature Reserve. The Peace Route is 24 kilometers long and marked in green.
