Tomb of Lihyan son of Kuza

The tomb displays a 72-foot high facade carved into sandstone with detailed architectural elements and a distinctive stepped crown design at the top.

Dating from the first century AD, this monumental structure served as the final resting place for Lihyan son of Kuza, a notable Nabatean figure.

The tomb features inscriptions and decorative motifs that demonstrate the advanced construction methods and funerary practices of the Nabatean civilization.

Visitors can access the tomb Tuesday through Saturday from 6:30 AM to midnight, while Monday and Sunday hours extend from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM.

The lower third of the tomb reveals unfinished chisel marks, providing direct evidence of the Nabatean construction technique of carving from top to bottom.
