Qasr al-Farid

Qasr al-Farid, meaning "The Unique Palace," is a remarkable rock-cut monument in Mada'in Salih, Saudi Arabia, built by the Nabataean civilization around the 1st century CE. Unlike other tombs, it stands alone, with intricate carvings on its facade and no visible entrance, as the tomb is accessed from behind. Its solitary, well-preserved design highlights Nabataean craftsmanship and religious beliefs, making it a striking example of their architectural and cultural achievements in a desert landscape.
