Zuma rock is sometimes referred to as the gateway to Abuja. It is beautiful and attractive and can be seen while entering Abuja. The rock is 20,378 ft above the ground and it is one of the greatest tourist centers in Nigeria.

Nigeria is a land blessed with interesting historical tourist sites. These sites have stood the test of time and they are eye-catching location for visitors and the inhabitants and this is one of them.

Zuma rock is known to possess the face of a human(eyes, nose, and mouth) when viewed from an angle far away and it was used for a defensive retreat by the Gbayi people against invading neighboring tribes during inter-tribal warring.

The rock is printed on one of Nigeria’s currency to show the greatness and wonders of the rock.

Rumors have it that spirit and demons live in the rock, while others say it is a gift from God. The rock is so big that it took scientist 5hours to climb to the top in order to discover what is in the rock.

The rock is a masterpiece and can be viewed from the uncompleted 5-star hotel close to the rock. The uncompleted 5 star near the rock adds to the oral of mystery, it is said that the spirit of the rock chased those constructing it and ever since then, it has been abandoned. Not far from it the Zuma rock estate close to it is heavily quiet too. It was constructed by the Niger state government and the buildings have been abandoned too.

After much research about the rock, it was concluded that the rock is completely harmless and they are people living around it, yet it doesn’t change the thoughts most people have towards the rock.

Zuma sits waiting when its legend grows.
Thank you
