Witnessing a sunset and sunrise over Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (The Olgas) is an awe-inspiring experience and a 'must do' on every visitor's list. Join one of the Uluru Sunrise Tours or Sunset Tours or watch the twice daily spectacle from one of the designated viewing areas inside the Park.

The apparent colour changes result from the effects of the earth's atmosphere on the sun's incoming rays. The ash, dust particles and water vapour present in the earth's atmosphere act as a filter which can remove the bluer light from the incoming rays of the sun, allowing the redder light through at different times of the day. Reflections from the rock and clouds in the sky enhance the vivid colours.
