This is the perfect place for explorers who love to go the extra mile in searching for concealed world treasures. Mada’in Saleh is a haven to 131 tombs, 45 of which have late Aramaic script on its entrance describing the tombs’ builders — wealthy women.
A trip here is like travelling back in time, as most of the structures have a combination of Nabataean and Babylonian designs with Greco-Roman architecture. It was also discovered that this place used to be a place for traders and marketers.
