The Timna Valley (תִּמְנָע) is located in southern Israel in the southwestern Arava/Arabah, approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) north of the Gulf of Aqaba and the city of Eilat.

There is controversy whether the mines were active during the biblical united Kingdom of Israel and its second ruler, King Solomon.
