After our stay down at the Red Sea, we went back north. First stop, Timna. There we viewed a small theater presentation on the Egyptian miners and the Jews who lived there in ancient times.
Back on the bus, went into the park area a few miles to the site of Solomon's Pillars. There we disembarked for a hike up to the top of the trail where there is an Egyptian hieroglyph and down the other side where there's an archaeological site of an Egyptian miners' temple.
I found a couple of resources on the web about the area:
