At Petrified Forest witness the fossilisation of ancient trees. These trees-turned-to-stone tell the story of forests a million years old.

Because the area is undeveloped, consider hiring a guide to take you to the spot. To visit Petrified Forest on your holiday in Merowe, and find out what else Merowe has to offer, use our Merowe.
