Al Naslaa is a striking sandstone rock formation located 50 km south of the Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia. Standing about 6 m high and 9 m wide, it consists of twin boulders balanced on natural pedestals, split by a precise vertical gap likely caused by a geological fault or freeze-thaw weathering. The southeast face is covered in petroglyphs depicting Arabian horses, ibexes, and humans, dating to the Bronze Age.
