Uluru, also known as Ayers Rock, is located in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, within the Northern Territory. It lies about 335 kilometers (208 miles) southwest of Alice Springs, the nearest major town. Situated within Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is surrounded by vast, arid desert landscapes characterized by red sand, sparse vegetation, and a unique array of wildlife. Its remote location adds to its allure, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the serenity and cultural richness of one of Australia's most iconic and spiritually significant landmarks.
