Al-Banat Mountain is a sandstone necropolis in south Hegra.

History

The necropolis contains 29 tombs carved during the first century CE, having been popular with local nobles. These tombs, visible from the city of Al-Ula, had many noteworthy sculptural elements, with their triangular pediments presenting animals, such as eagles, snakes, and fish, as well as mythological creatures, such as the gorgon Medusa from Greek mythology.

After rescuing his father, Ishaq, from the clutches of Nimlot at the Roman Fort Ruins, Basim made camp at Ithlib Mountain. Ishaq, suffering from memory issues, believed he was in Samarra about to leave his young son behind and wished to see the sunrise one last time near a tomb similar to the ones in Al-Ula Valley. Deciding against breaking the illusion, Basim offered to accompany Ishaq to the tomb, leading him to Al-Banat to watch the sunrise together one last time. Ishaq then said goodbye, walking off into the sands.

At the site, Basim also recovered a paper containing the oud melody Hams Al-hijara (Whispers of the Stones), as well as a stolen item from one of the robbers' hidden caches.
