Tomb and graffiti

Mada’in Saleh is one of Saudi Arabia’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city was settled by the Nabataeans, whose capital was Petra in Jordan, in the first century B.C., and most of the 131 rock-cut tombs date to the first century A.D.

I hate graffiti and to desecrate a tomb with it is just so wrong.

It doesn't look like an easy place to get to, Helen! Nicely composed shot. V

A surprise to see the grafitti! Not ancient grafitti I assume. I like this POV, giving a sense of the sloping entrance to the door. Were you allowed to go inside, or perhaps climbing on this ancient site is not a good idea. V
