Southwestern Tayma Governorate in Tabuk Region is home to Al-Naslaa, two adjoining rock formations separated by a strikingly straight, narrow gap that creates the impression of a clean split.
SPA reports that the formation stands approximately eight meters high and rests on two natural rock bases. The name Al-Naslaa comes from the Arabic word nasalat, meaning to separate, referring to the rock’s detachment from the surrounding mountains.
The Heritage Commission states that Al-Naslaa is situated within an area known for rock inscriptions and diverse archaeological remains. These features reflect the historical importance of Tayma, which served for centuries as an important stop on ancient trade routes crossing northwestern Arabia.
The site is recognized as a natural geological landmark that combines its unique physical structure with ancient art and inscriptions carved into its surface.
