Shivta (Hebrew: שבטה), originally Sobata (Greek: Σόβατα) or Subeita (Arabic: شبطا), is an ancient city in the Negev Desert of Israel located 43 kilometers southwest of Beersheba.[3] Shivta was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in June 2005, as part of the Incense Route and the Desert Cities of the Negev, together with Haluza/Elusa, Avdat and Mamshit/Mampsis.[4][5]
The name Shivta is a modern Hebraization, given by the Negev Naming Committee in the early 1950s.[6][1] The Greek name Sobata was mentioned in the Nessana papyri.
