大象岩 Jabal Alfil (Elephant Rock)

在埃尔奥拉的未经世俗打扰的环境里，蕴藏着许多地质奇迹，坐落于金色沙漠中，有着三层楼高的大象岩便是其中之一。这座外形酷似大象躯干的庞然大物，是红砂岩经过数百万年的风蚀与水蚀而形成。此外，还有不少自然的奇迹，包括人脸岩、蘑菇岩、彩虹岩等。
大象岩（Elephant Rock），在阿拉伯语中被称为Jabal Al-Fil，是一个位于埃尔奥拉东北方11公里处的惊人地貌奇观。数百万年来，这个岩石不断地被水和风的缓慢的侵蚀，进而形成了如今的面貌。这个自然奇观离地52米，背后的层层山脉与大象岩相互呼应。

SET IN GOLDEN DESERT SANDS AND CLIMBING THREE STOREYS INTO THE SAUDI ARABIAN SKY IS THE AWE-INSPIRING ELEPHANT ROCK, ALSO KNOWN AS JABAL ALFIL, ONE OF AlUla’S MANY GEOLOGICAL MARVELS.
Unlike the ornate, hand-carved facades of nearby Hegra’s Nabataean tombs, the "trunk" and "body" of this monolithic red sandstone beast were hewn by natural forces — millions of years of wind and water erosion.
The beauty of the unrefined structure is enhanced by its surroundings of a fine-sand sea studded with rocky outcrops, many of which are equally impressive in size and have interesting shapes and figures.
