Full description
Visit one of the most impressive geological formations in the area, a red sandstone mushroom with a shape that has been created by rapid erosion on the bottom half of the rock. Next, travel back in time to view an ancient workstation, where copper was melted to create tools, weapons, and ornaments.
Surrounded by incredible scenery, you will continue on to view famous, unique geological structures known as the Arches, as well as Solomon’s Pillars. Here, you will also see the remains of the Egyptian temple dedicated to Goddess Hathor, as well as ancient rock carvings that depict King Ramses III.
You will then continue to Timna Lake, which will prove to be a great place to relax at the end of your tour. There you can soak in the landscape, fill bottles of colored sandstone, or enjoy some thirst-quenching refreshments at the concession stand.
