Zuma Rock is a prominent natural monolith located in Niger State, Nigeria, just north of the capital city, Abuja. Often referred to as the "Gateway to Abuja," this impressive rock stands at approximately 725 meters (2,379 feet) above its surrounding landscape, making it an iconic landmark. Zuma Rock is steeped in local legends and cultural significance, often considered a place of spiritual importance. The rock's unique shape, which some say resembles a human face, adds to its mystique and allure.
