Timna Park - Egyptian copper-mines

Continuing on the road past the Mushroom Rock in Timna Park, we come to a parking lot from which a path is signposted to the Egyptian Copper-Mines. This leads in 200m/220yds to a large natural sandstone arch, from which a steep path leads up to old shafts, the deepest of which tunnels down for 37m/120ft. From a viewing platform can be seen light-colored circles on the ground marking the position of shafts which have been filled in.
