Colored Sand Art

Timna Park

We hiked at Timna Park to see Solomon's Pillars.

Solomon's Pillars were formed by centuries of water erosion on the tall, straight rock face. The red sandstone cliffs have been sculpted into pillar-shaped ridges that jut outwards. A set of steps leads from Solomon's Pillars to an Egyptian rock carving that shows Ramses III presenting a gift to the goddess Hathor.
