Hegra, known to Muslims as Al-Hijr, also known as Mada’in Salih, is an archaeological site located in the area of Al-'Ula within Medina Province in the Hejaz, Saudi Arabia. A majority of the remains date from the Nabataean Kingdom ..
The Nabataean settlement of Hegra was founded in about the 2nd century BCE,
This unique mountain is known as Tomb of Lihyan son of Kuza , measuring about 72 feet tall. Left unfinished, with rough, unsmoothed chisel marks skirting its lower third, it is at times referred to as Qasr al-Farid by the locals, meaning the "Lonely Castle" in English, because of its distant position in relation to the other tombs.
