Based on 4,576 reviewsUluru is located in the red earth outback of the Northern Territory, Australia, and is an iconic natural landmark within the national park. It is a massive sandstone formation that rises from the surrounding relatively flat desert plains, with the rock mass rising approx. 348 m above the ground and a base circumference of approx. 9.4 km. The rock surface features distinct grooves, cracks, steep walls, and depressions, and as the light changes, it displays different hues such as red, orange-red, and brownish-red. The surrounding area is characterized by red earth, sparse shrubs, drought-tolerant plants, and an open desert landscape. Visitors can enjoy the color changes of the rock at sunrise and sunset from designated viewing points, or hike along the open trails around the rock to observe the rock walls, caves, rock art, and seasonal waterholes.

Show More ReviewsUluru (Ayers Rock) is very mystical. Initially, I only booked the sunset and sunrise tours, but that was a tour to view the whole of Uluru from a little distance. I wanted to see it up close, so I joined a tour that went around Uluru. I was able to see it up close and even touch it. There were some areas where I couldn't take photos, so I can't show you everything, but I was impressed by the majesty of nature like I'd never seen before. I recommend it!
