the guide took us to the mining place from this century, what was very nice experience even before the Timna… then we went to Timna park where we stopped on some nice places, like the ancient mining spots, solomon pillars, the mushroom rock and finally near to the lake to make some color sand bottles. To go by jeep on the main road - with strong wind against you is cool experience. I would prefer to spend little more time on the stops… especially on the solomon pillars and for us personally we would love if the tabernacle tour was included in the trip - or have it as a option. Because of not having time to go to the tabernacle, we visited the park day after on our own.

We had a great tour through Tinma park and even explored modern copper mines while driving off-road on the way to the park. The guide was very friendly and happy to share his knowledge about the area.

was fun trip, definitely hot so drink more water and take. good to go with hiking shoes and try to put some long sleeve cotton t-shirts so won't burn . overall nice trip. Thank you to our guide

We enjoyed the tour, interesting history, we liked going off road in the Land Rover Defender. Alex was great.
