Saudi Arabia

Hegra

This archaeological marvel nestled within the Al-'Ula region of the Hejaz is a testament to the rich heritage of the Nabataean Kingdom, with a majority of its remnants hailing from the 1st century AD.

About

Designated as Saudi Arabia's inaugural World Heritage property, the Hegra Archaeological Site is an awe-inspiring tableau of the Nabataean civilization. Boasting an exceptional collection of well-preserved monumental tombs adorned with intricate facades dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD, the site provides a vivid glimpse into the architectural and artistic prowess of the Nabataeans. Among the 111 grand tombs, 94 are embellished, and alongside these, you will find 50 pre-Nabataean inscriptions and captivating cave drawings. Al-Hijr is a living testament to the ingenuity of Nabataean culture and stands as an outstanding example of their hydraulic mastery, with an array of water wells and channels. The site immerses you in the narrative of the ancient inhabitants of AlUla, revealing their customs and way of life. While wandering among these impressive structures, you'll come across tombs dedicated to various figures, from healers to military leaders, each marked by distinct stylized carvings and symbols.
