Among them is Qasr al-Farid (the “lone” or “unique” palace, Tomb N°110), The style of this tomb is known to archaeologists as the Hegra style, but Qasr al-Farid is again unique in that it is the only one with four large pilasters decorating the façade.
It is similar to the two Proto-Hegra styles, except that it includes a second entablature above the two pilasters flanking the façade. Thanks in advance!Hello! 'Cities of Salih'), also called Al-Ḥijr (ٱلْحِجْر) or "Hegra" (Ancient Greek: Ἔγρα), is an archaeological site located in the Sector of AlUla within Al Madinah Region in the Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. The Some of the differences in architectural styles are quite obvious, but others require a sharp eye and some basic understanding of architecture to distinguish between them. Madain Saleh is located in AlUla, in the Hijaz region of western Saudi Arabia, some 300 kms north of Medina and 500 kms south-east of its sister city, Petra in Jordan.In this comprehensive guide you can read in detail about Madain Saleh’s history, learn in depth knowledge about the different types of tombs and fascinating areas that can be found in Madain Saleh, Saudi Arabia’s mysterious desert city.Historically, Hegra had a lucrative position in the desert with an underground water supply that permitted agriculture, which in turn made it one of several indispensable stops along the incense trade route from Yemen to the Levant.
I checked the gov tourism websites but they are out of date or don’t have the info. This inscription is interesting because it demonstrates that Tombs N°13 and N°14, Jebel al-Mahjar (Jan 2011)West of the urban centre of Hegra is the most extensive group of tombs in the archaeological site, known as Jebel Khraymat. It also warns of severe punishment for anyone else who attempts to use, buy or sell the tomb. The most famous triclinium is in Jibal Ithlib and was probably shared by several groups of people.The main Triclinium (photo: F. Egal)If Madain Saleh does not have as many tombs as Petra it has a special feature with the numerous inscriptions written on the monumental tombs.Indeed, whereas in Petra a mere two percent of the tombs carry an inscription, in Madain Saleh two thirds of the tombs have a cartouche above the door containing a text in Nabatean script.Inscription in Nabatean script above a tomb's door (photo: Florent Egal)Those inscriptions are judicial documents giving the name of the owner of the tomb, naming the persons having the right to be buried. The smallest tomb is barely 2,7 meters tall but the biggest reaches an impressive 21,5 meters!One of Madain Saleh's best preserved monumental tombs (photo: Florent Egal)The sculptors always started to cut the rock from the top and then dug downwards.
Design by: Laura Alho After that time the population probably moved to the nearby city of Al-Ula that is still inhabited today. But in an inscription next to a simple tomb a man mentions the burial of his mother in 267 CE.Inscription in Nabatean script (photo: Florent Egal)Nabatean inscriptions are also found next to the Triclinium, the places where the Nabateans used to gather for festivities or rituals.
Some speculate that the five steps – never more, never less – represent the five major Nabatean deities, including Dúshara.Half Merlon Style, Tomb N°10, Jebel al-Mahjar (Jan 2011)This is the first of three styles that are theProto Hegra 1 Style, Tomb N°113, Jebel al-Ahmar (Jan 2011)It is nearly identical to Proto-Hegra 1 style, except for one minor detail.
