الصحراء في العُلا

A huge natural rock arch shaped like an elephant, set in a sandy valley with seating, fire pits and a café. Open from late afternoon; best at sunset and after dark when the rock is lit.

A road climbs onto the volcanic plateau of Harrat Uwayrid for wide views over AlUla’s oasis and canyons; entry is free and no booking is needed. Drive up for sunset and bring a jacket, as nights at the top are cool and windy.
