The southwest of Tayma governorate in the Tabuk region features two contiguous rock formations known as Al-Naslaa. The site is often called the twin rock because of a straight and narrow fracture that divides its two sections, creating the appearance of a clean split.
SPA reports that the name Al-Naslaa comes from the Arabic term nasalat, meaning to separate, which describes how the rock is detached from the surrounding mountains. The formation stands approximately eight meters high and rests on two natural rock bases.
The Heritage Commission states that Al-Naslaa is located within a larger area known for diverse archaeological remains and rock inscriptions. Tayma served for centuries as an important stop on ancient trade routes crossing the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula.
The site combines its geological structure with ancient inscriptions and carved artworks on its surface, making it a tourist attraction in Tayma and a distinctive natural landmark in the Kingdom.
