Al Naslaa is a large sandstone rock formation about 50 kilometers south of the Tayma oasis in Saudi Arabia, standing roughly 6 meters high and 9 meters wide. The rock is split cleanly down the middle into two slabs, each balanced on its own small natural pedestal, a shape attributed to wind erosion and to chemical weathering along a natural joint in the stone rather than to any human cutting. Its south east face carries petroglyphs of horses and ibex, showing that the formation held meaning for the region ancient inhabitants.
