Qasr al Bint, “Palace of the Daughter or Maiden,” is the largest tomb façade at Mada'in Saleh, with a height of 16 m. It lends its name to the group of adjacent tombs.
Mada’in Saleh, not far from al-Ula (22 km), was known as al-Hijr, or Hegra, by the Nabataean people who carved its magnificent tombs into the golden Quweira sandstone outcrops. The delicate details on the entrance portals and the smooth surfaces of its 111 tomb façades reflect the great skills of the masons of their time.
