Jerusalem, 5 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Southern District Planning and Building Committee has approved the Ministry of Construction and Housing’s plan for the new “Narkisim Quarter” in Dimona.
The urban development features approximately 1,060 housing units—combining high-density apartments and single-family homes—alongside a 250-room hotel, local commercial hubs, transit networks, and public institutions.
Designed for the local desert climate, the layout emphasizes shaded pedestrian paths, bike lanes, and direct integration with the adjacent Narkisim Nature Reserve.
Single-family homes form a stepped transition along the reserve boundary, while high-density units line the main ring road. Housing marketing is scheduled to begin this year to address growing residential and tourism demand in the Negev city.
