The Judah Thumb

Nestled in the heart of the barren desert, a magnificent and solitary rock formation “sticks out like a sore thumb”, capturing the attention of visitors to the expansive Arabian Desert.

About

Located between Riyadh and Dammam in the An Nafud region, the Judah Thumb is a captivating natural wonder surrounded by a magical desert setting. The towering rock structure rises proudly in a landscape adorned with hidden caverns and rugged rock formations, enticing visitors to unravel its mysteries. Embark on a camel-back journey for an authentic adventure, allowing you to traverse the desert towards the Judah Thumb. Or, for an exhilarating off-road experience, visitors can embark on a convoy-driven trip and venture into the nearby escarpments where you might even sight some camels. The Rub’ Al Khalo desert, where the Judah Thumb is located, is preferable to visit during the winter months for comfortable temperatures and a lack of sand or windstorms.
