Timna Valley
Timna Valley combines ancient copper mining with sandstone formations north of Eilat. Mining shafts, ritual remains and bold desert shapes give both human and geological reasons to make the drive.
Why go
Mining shafts, ritual remains and bold desert shapes give both human and geological reasons to make the drive. Look for solomon's Pillars rise from a red sandstone cliff, then smelting camps trace copper production across millennia. The valley is large and exposed; use a vehicle circuit, carry water and avoid the hottest hours.
