Disclosed are a dry reforming catalyst having high activity and long-term stability, and a method for preparing the dry reforming catalyst. A sol-gel reaction is performed at the interface of a catalyst for sol-gel reaction in the form of micelles to form silica particles having pores. In addition, catalyst particles of nickel or nickel oxide are formed in voids or pores of silica by using the difference in solubility in a gel state of the silica.
