The Elephant Rock () is a natural rock formation in Al-Ula, Northwestern Saudi Arabia. Elephant Rock measures 52 meters (170 ft) at its highest point. It is primarily formed of sandstone that has been eroded over millions of years by rain, wind and sand to take on the shape of an elephant. The surrounding sandstones of Al-Ula formed around 540-485 million years ago and were uplifted around 30 million years ago as the Red Sea began to open.
