Weathered by millions of years of natural erosion, and standing three stories high in the desert, Elephant Rock looks very much like the trunk and body of an elephant. Visit this natural wonder with ease on this late-afternoon tour. Enjoy pickup from your Al Ula hotel and travel to the desert to admire the unique sandstone monolith.
SET IN GOLDEN DESERT SANDS AND CLIMBING THREE STOREYS INTO THE SAUDI ARABIAN SKY, IS THE AWE-INSPIRING ELEPHANT ROCK (ALSO KNOWN AS JABAL ALFIL), ONE OF ALULA’S MANY GEOLOGICAL MARVELS. Unlike the ornate, hand-carved facades of nearby Hegra’s Nabataean tombs, the “trunk” and “body” of this monolithic red sandstone beast were shaped by natural forces — millions of years of wind and water erosion. The beauty of the unrefined structure is enhanced by a landscape of golden sands, studded with rocky outcops, many of which are equally impressive in size and have interesting shapes and figures
