About Elephant Rock
Get up close to AlUla's beloved Elephant Rock, a special landmark and must-see spot. This natural marvel, shaped by millions of years of erosion, rises 52 meters high. Enjoy its magical presence at dusk, bathed in warm crimson light, while warming up by a fire pit nearby.
Stunning sunset views
Known in Arabic as Jabal AlFil, Elephant Rock is particularly magical at dusk when the fading sun casts a bewitching deep crimson light over the trunk and body of AlUla’s famous geological pachyderm.
Stylish seating to relax with friends and family
Enjoy the spectacle from sunken seating dotted around the site, or gather around a roaring fire pit to warm up on cooler desert nights. You'll also find a cafe and a restaurant open for most of the year, offering a wide range of food, refreshments and shisha into the night.
How can I get to Elephant Rock?
Elephant Rock is a 20-minute drive northeast of AlUla's Old Town. You can drive yourself to the site via Highway 70, where you’ll find free parking. A wooden path leads from the car park through the entrance to Elephant Rock. As Elephant Rock is an AlUla icon, many group tours or packages include it as a stop on their itineraries.
