Uluru Sunset Viewing Area
Uluru Car Sunset Viewing Area
A sunset viewing spot on the northwest side of Uluṟu, where the rock shifts from orange to deep red and then purple as the sun goes down.
The sunset viewing area is about 4 km northwest of Uluṟu. It is split into a car parking zone and a tour coach zone, and faces the widest side of the rock. In the 20 minutes around sunset, the rock changes from orange to fiery red and wine red, finally becoming a purple silhouette. Many tour groups set out champagne and snacks here. Arrive about 40 minutes early. Self-drive visitors must park in the designated bays. Closing times vary by season, so leave promptly after the sun has set.
