Near Eilat is this beautiful historical and Biblical site of ancient Copper Mines. The soaring structures I call Sleeping Giants as that is what comes to mind as I stand in awe in front of them. I have included some hikers to give you an idea of scale. This beautiful site is important in Biblical history for its ancient copper mines, referenced as Solomon's Mines and the center of a flourishing trade with Egypt-hence the reddish tones. It will inspire you with the grandeur of nature. The first visit we made to this majestic site, my husband and son hiked into the canyon with others on the tour. I stayed in the shade of the rocks, taking photos for developing paintings. Completely captivated by the towering forms, I always feel awed by the grandeur of this enduring display. There are many other formations which you will also find awe inspiring. There is a presentation at the visitor's centre which provides the historical details. In addition, you can enjoy a regional style meal-yummy! I would highly recommend a day tour to this spot to learn about the history and experience the connection to the past.
