The Tomb of Hayyan ibn Kuza is a 21 meters tall tomb in southwest Hegra. It is also referred to as IGN 110 by present-day archaeologists.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
Construction of the tomb began during the Nabataean Kingdom, though it was never completed. It stands isolated from other tombs in the area, such as the ones forming the necropolis at Al-Banat Mountain, and is one of the largest tombs at Hegra, being visible from the nearby city of Al-Ula, leading to the assumption of it being one of the most prestigious tombs of its period.[1]
During Basim ibn Ishaq's time in the region, he climbed the tomb to better orient himself, taking note of other landmarks from above.[2] At the site, Basim also recovered a stolen item from one of the robbers' hidden caches.[3]
