Elephant Rock (Jabal Alfil)

Elephant Rock is one of AlUla’s most famous sites—a natural rock formation in the middle of the desert that bears a staggering resemblance to the shape of an elephant. Enjoy a taste of local culture at the stylish desert lounge that has been built around the monument, with private booths built into the sand, cabanas, coffee and hookah stands and over-sand walkways for exploration. It is wonderful to come here for tea at sunset, to take in the view both in the daylight and after dark, when the monument is magically lit-up.
