Tomb of Eve, Archaeological site in Al Balad, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

The tomb structure extends 120 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and reaches a height of 6 meters within the cemetery grounds.

The first written record of Eve's tomb in Jeddah appears in the works of scholar Hamdani during the tenth century of the Common Era.

The location holds significance in Islamic tradition as the final resting place of Eve, connecting to the Arabic name of Jeddah meaning grandmother.

Entry to the cemetery containing the tomb remains restricted to Muslim visitors, with security personnel monitoring access at the entrance gate.

The tomb dimensions recorded by British Consul Jordan in 1926 differ from measurements documented by French geographer Émile-Félix Gautier.
