"Get Great Views of the Negev Desert A beautiful 15,000-acre park in Israel's Negev Desert, north of Eilat, Timna Park offers visitors spectacular views of the arid desert landscape and ancientgeological formations. One highlight is the copper mine at Mount Timna, which scientists and historians consider to be the world's very first. At least 6,000 years ago, the areawas mined by ancient Egyptians by order of their pharaoh, as well as by Israelites under the rule of King Solomon. Tours of the park, including highly recommended bike tours, are available daily, as is zip-lining, pedal-boating on the artifical lake, and the Timna Safari Shuttle, which leaves from Eilat."

This lovely national park is full of great activity, beautiful sight seeing. Magnificent nature park. Convenient roads take you to many attractions, there is a variety of hiking options - 30 minutes, 90, or few hours. Plenty trails at different length and difficulties, it gives a good variety selection. Huge natural reserve with lots of landmarks to see and explore, very informative guidence, direction signs all over the park really helping for orientation, alongside the map you get at the entrance.

The visit made sence, in a weird way. You think you have seen the mountains, and the park seems like a boring extend to the same mountains, but its not! Friendly people, visualization of the ancient story of the place, and much more makes it worth the visit. Much of the park is accessible by car, which makes it possible to visit, even on the hottest days. There is animals if you look in the shade of the lonely trees. I recommend it!☺️

It’s a breathtaking place, a must-have for hiking lovers. Plenty trails at different length and difficulties, it gives a good variety selection. A choice for bike rental is also a good addition if you would like to boost the experience.

A vast park—larger than the city of Tel Aviv—filled with desert landscapes and mountains. You’ll find prehistoric columns, Egyptian-style temples, colorful sands, and even a small oasis. I felt the oasis was quite crowded and small, and I didn’t like the boats in the lake. You can also bike along the trails during winter. The scenery is breathtaking—it truly feels like another planet. We didn’t have enough time to explore the entire park in one day, so we’ll have to return. Also, once you buy a ticket, it’s valid for a full week.

One of the parks that you can say Must visit. Located in Arava not too far from Eilat (30 min in car). Very kind and helpful staff. Timna is one of the largest attractions in the south of Israel. Beautiful mountains in the valley containing ancient remnants of copper mining. You also can stay at the park, have a camping. You can see night show of light, or come for musical concert.

Beautiful place. Organized as a park where you can access any landmark by your own vehicle. You can visit it regardless to the weather, even at noon at hot summer day. Take in mind that your ticket is valid for 3 days, not for one entrance. It means that it worth to get the ticket on the road to Eilat and then visit the park next days.
