Al Naslaa

The Al Naslaa rock is a landform 50 kilometres (31 mi) south of the Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia.

It is a large sandstone rock split neatly down the middle into two parts, both balanced on small pedestals.

[1] The overall shape of the rock is due to wind erosion and the chemical weathering made possible by the moist conditions in the protected underside of the rock.

The rock is about 6 metres (20 ft) high and 9 metres (30 ft) wide, and is covered on its south-east face with numerous petroglyphs.
