Uluru (Ayers Rock) is the spiritual heart of Australia — a massive sandstone monolith that rises 348 metres from the red desert floor of the Northern Territory. Sacred to the Anangu people for tens of thousands of years, Uluru changes colour throughout the day, glowing fiery red at sunrise and sunset.

All accommodation is at Ayers Rock Resort in the township of Yulara, about 20 minutes from the rock. The resort offers everything from the luxury Sails in the Desert to budget options at the Outback Pioneer Lodge. The Field of Light installation — 50,000 solar-powered stems that illuminate the desert — is a magical after-dark experience.

Nearby Kata Tjuta (The Olgas), a group of 36 domed rock formations, offers the Valley of the Winds walk — many visitors say it's even more impressive than Uluru itself.
