📍 Destination Overview
Uluru (Ayers Rock) stands at the heart of the Australian continent, one of the world's largest monoliths and a sacred site for the Anangu, the Indigenous people. This red sandstone mass, 348 m high and nearly 10 km around, shifts through glorious shades of gold-red and ochre-purple with the light at sunrise and sunset — breathtaking. Nearby Kata Tjuta, a cluster of 36 domed rocks, is equally spectacular. Here tens of thousands of years of Indigenous culture live on in rock art and legends. Far from city light pollution, the desert sky, the Field of Light art installation and camel rides make this red outback a soul-stirring destination.
