Fish Rock: A Desert Wonder in AlUla

Riyadh: The Fish Rock in Wadi AlFann, AlUla Governorate, stands as one of the region's most striking natural wonders, resembling a giant fish resting in the desert. This geological wonder, stretching nearly 200 meters (the length of two football fields), was formed over 500 million years ago.

According to Saudi Press Agency, its unique shape was sculpted by erosion from ancient river systems that swept sand to the edges of the supercontinent Gondwana.

Wadi AlFann, a 65-square-kilometer centerpiece of the 'Journey Through Time Masterplan' initiative, is part of the Royal Commission for AlUla's efforts to transform AlUla into a leading global destination for arts, heritage, culture, and nature while preserving its unique geological and cultural treasures.
