Located in the Negev Desert near Eilat, 135 mi/220 km south of Jerusalem, Timna Valley National Park has both natural beauty and archaeological sites (including 6,000-year-old copper mines). See the prehistoric rock drawings, the ancient Temple of Hathor and King Solomon's Pillars (red rock pillars).
Just north of the park is the Hai-Bar Biblical Wildlife Reserve, a preserve stocked with animals mentioned in the Bible.
