Towering 348 metres above the red desert earth in the heart of Australia’s Outback, Uluru is possibly Australia’s most recognised and most visited icon.

The monolith is best experienced on foot, which allows you to get up close and personal to its weathered surface and learn the significance of its sacred Aboriginal sites. A complete lap is 9 kilometres.

The rock changes its hues gradually with both the arrival and departure of the sun, transforming from its rich, red ochre evening dress to its terracotta daywear, making sunrise and sunset the most popular viewing times.
