Mamshit (Hebrew: ממשית) is the Nabatean city of Memphis. In the Nabatean period, Mamshit was important because it sat on Incense Road, on the route from the Idumean Mountains to the Arabah, which passed through Ma'ale Akrabim and continued on to Beer-Sheva or to Hebron and Jerusalem. The city covers ten acres and is the smallest but best restored city in the Negev Desert. The once-luxurious houses have unusual architecture not found in any other Nabatean city
