Timna Park - פארק תמנע - 2011 - A wild unspoiled park, about to be turned into an hotel complex





Timna Park is an area that covers 15,000 acres of unique geological  formations and is home to the earliest  mines in history. The oldest of which dates back to the Neolithic period.


Situated in the southwestern Arava,  25 kilometers north of Eilat,  Timna is soon to be ruined by hotel moguls and profiteers. In December 2011, the Southern District Planning Committee approved the construction of a hotel complex in this pristine wilderness.
