King Solomon's Mines

In the valley of Timna, near the Israeli city of Eilat, there are ancient copper mines, which are also called the King Solomon’s Mines. It was here that the non-ferrous metal was mined first by the ancient Egyptians, and then by the Jews and Romans. It is believed that the famous Kopi of King Solomon, which for many years was sought by archaeologists around the world, are located here.

However, previously there was a legend that in the mines of the ruler there was also a lot of gold and diamonds, and 7o in fact this is not the case. However, copper was in ancient times a real wealth. Now there is a national park, where many tourists come to see not only the mines, but also the bizarre figures of stone.

You can get here from Eilat - a resort town with magnificent beaches and warm sea. The infrastructure there is very well developed, so there will be no problems with hotels and food.
