Qasr al-Bint tomb interior

I can't even begin to imagine how much work went into crafting these tombs, both inside and out.

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.

What a lot of work involved here. And in those old times without the machines that we have today.V.
