From fish rock to elephant rock: AlUla’s desert wonders

The deserts of AlUla continue to astonish visitors with timeless natural wonders

In Wadi Al-Fann, AlUla, stands one of Saudi Arabia’s most striking natural wonders — the Fish Rock. Nearly 200 meters long, the colossal sandstone formation resembles a giant sea creature stranded in the desert, captivating visitors with its surreal silhouette.

Today, Fish Rock remains a powerful symbol of AlUla’s timeless landscapes and geological heritage.
