"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."
Amazing landscape, many things to see and trails to hike. Very well kept park. But be ware that you need to manage your own food (have with you there). Many places around close early, especially on Friday.

Beautiful desert park, 20 minutes drive from Eilat. Mainly car trails with sightseeing or trekking stops, historic sites, an artificial lake, a restaurant and activities for the kids. Accessible in extreme heat or pleasant weather alike. A lot of the park is wheelchair accessible.

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.

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.

It was very hot, the combo tent placement + breakfast is really worth it. Beautiful stones. The camping is very nice, working people very sweet too

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.
