An accredited guide enriches the journey with insights into the region's heritage and significance.

2. What are the current visitor regulations for Uluru, especially regarding climbing?

3. Why is the sacred site referred to as Uluru instead of Ayers Rock?

The site is officially known as Uluru to honor the Anangu Traditional Owners, who have been its custodians for tens of thousands of years.
