Ancient mineshafts, clifftops, and striking desert geology
"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."
"I learned that Middle Eastern/Israeli restaurant Timna appears to have closed earlier than its planned April 14 date; the East Village location was recently cleared out and chef Nir Mesika said on Instagram the closure was due to financial issues and disagreements; Timna had opened in 2014 and its food was well received by critics and diners." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
"Located in the far south near Eilat, Timna Park features incredible geological formations — huge sandstone pillars and vividly colored sands — and hosts an annual hot-air-balloon festival each autumn. " - Matthew Kepnes
