Cow Rock is a natural rock formation in Wadi Rum. Erosion at the base has created a 3 metre high rock that sits on two short legs. The rock is very round and is perceived in different ways from different angles. More accurately it in fact looks like a chicken from its west, many Bedouin in the area refer to it instead as chicken rock, which fits the 2 legs the rock stands on.
