]]>Uluru may seem like just another unusual rock formation to most, but it’s is sacred to the Aboriginal people in this area, known as Aṉangu. That’s why it’s important to stay respectful during your visit, and don’t take any rocks with you. In addition to destroying the natural beauty of Uluru by taking “souvenirs”, those who remove rocks are believed to be cursed.
Leaving Uluru without taking photos wouldn’t make sense, but you should be mindful. Certain areas of the park are connected to gender-linked rituals or ceremonies, and there are signs in place warning you shouldn’t take photos here.
Many tourists used to climb Uluru in the past, but this activity has been strictly prohibited back in 2019. Even if the new rule wasn’t in place, climbing is disrespectful towards the local Aṉangu tribes due to Uluru’s spiritual importance.
