The city’s residents work in the textile, chemical, and electronic industries, as well as in Dead Sea tourism. Some work at the phosphate field of Zefa-Efeh and the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center, located 8.1 mi. (13 km.) southeast of the city.
The city is best known as the location of Israel’s “secret nuclear weapons” facility.
