Five Arch Rock, Natural arch in Sombora region, Ennedi, Chad.

Five Arch Rock features five distinct openings in the rock formation, with the largest opening measuring 67 feet wide and 45 feet high.

The rock formation developed through millions of years of geological processes, with water and wind erosion shaping the sandstone into multiple arches.

The rock formation serves as a meeting point for local communities and travelers who gather to observe the natural geological features of the Ennedi region.

Visitors need to arrange transportation and guides in advance to reach this remote location, located 10 miles southwest of Aloba Arch.

The formation includes a double arch beneath its largest opening, creating an additional geological feature not commonly found in natural arch structures.
