The urn tomb









The urn tomb is part of the royal tombs. Royal, because they must be, they built the arena right across from it. These are the tombs of royalty, the people gather in the arena across from it, to celebrate these dead people. The royal tombs form a huge complex, stretching from one to another, covering the whole mountain side. It is awe inspiring, it must be too, in the time when people lived here. Today only the bedouins camp out here, offering services to tourists and selling trinkets.
