Don’t miss seeing this Elephant Rock when you’re in Madain Saleh or Al Ula in Saudi Arabia.
Last weekend, some of us went camping for two nights at Al Ula. Yes, I know what you are thinking – it’s hot and it’s a freakin’ desert! Well, you’re wrong! There are rocky mountains and incredible mountain formations, too! We didn’t really see much of the desert as we were surrounded by rock monoliths and giant sandstones in various shapes and lengths.
Look at this gorgeous Elephant Rock! It’s a monolith in a middle of other hundreds of rock monoliths around Al Ula and Madain Saleh. As you can see it really looks like an elephant – a baby elephant! But, me thinks it’s also a sea horse facing down. Do you think so? 🙂
WHERE TO STAY IN AL-ULA or MADAIN SALEH
You should go camping – an experience you won’t forget. We stayed both in Sahary Al Ola Camp and Madakhil Camp. If one is full, we choose the other. 
If camping in the desert is not your thing, you can always stay at Al Ula Arac Hotel in downtown.
