The Timna Valley is a protected nature reserve located about 30 km north of the city of Eilat.

Copper mining was known in the Timna Valley at least from the 18th century B.C. Later the Egyptians, who conquered the area, made Timna a very important source of copper. There are many ancient copper mines in the valley; some look like holes in the ground, others are caves hewn in stone; in some places, there are remains of copper-smelting ovens.
