Nabataean Heritage

Hegra, Saudi Arabia’s first UNESCO World Heritage site, served as the southern capital of the Nabataean Kingdom. This archaeological complex contains over 100 well-preserved monumental tombs dating from the 1st century BC to the 1st century AD. The site showcases a unique blend of Nabataean, Roman, and Hellenistic architectural styles, featuring intricate rock-cut facades, decorative motifs, and ancient inscriptions carved directly into the sandstone outcrops of the Al-Ula desert.
