Qasr al-Bint tomb

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 don't want to overdo it with too many of these full tomb views, but I liked this image as it's clear how the entire tomb is cut into the rock.

Some of the details on a tomb:

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/100s f/10.0 at 24.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Reminds me some of the sites in Petra.
The person in front of the door gives us an idea of the size of the monument.
Thanks for sharing! V

On se rend bien compte de la taille au vu de la personne qui se trouve dans l'entrée du tombeau. C'est superbe. V
