Rock tomb complex

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.

This is a panoramic view of the rocks where these tombs are located:

I wonder if the Saudis have an equivalent of Hobbits?

Very interesting. I wonder how old the tombs are and who is buried there. V
