Your guide will explain the unique Nabataean burial traditions, and how these tombs were carved directly into the sandstone cliffs.
This stop offers fantastic photo opportunities, especially in the early morning or at sunset.

Jabal Al-Ahmar (The Red Mountain)
Known for its reddish sandstone formations, Jabal Al-Ahmar contains over 18 tombs, some with remarkably well-preserved inscriptions and intricate carvings.
These tombs belonged to high-ranking Nabataean families, giving insight into their hierarchical society and funerary practices.

Jabal Al-Banat (Mountain of the Daughters)
This unique collection of over 30 tombs is believed to have been owned by elite Nabataean women, highlighting the role of women in their society.
The tomb facades are beautifully decorated with Nabataean symbols and Thamudic inscriptions that tell stories of the past.

Diwan & Jabal Ithlib – The Nabataean Meeting Place
Jabal Ithlib, a sacred mountain, was a site for religious rituals and gatherings.
The Diwan, a rock-cut hall, served as a political and spiritual meeting place where Nabataean leaders and merchants discussed trade, governance, and religious ceremonies.
A short walk from the Diwan leads to a narrow passageway resembling Petra’s Siq, which was an important ceremonial route.
