IGN101.1

Tomb IGN101.1 is located in sector V of the Khuraymat necropolis on an isolated small massif situated between the Khuraymat and Sanie necropolises. The rockface has an irregular surface due to deep alveoli and stratifications caused by erosion, limiting the development of the facade’s height. The entrance, elevated about 1 meter above ground level, appears irregular due to erosion and features an incised inscription above it.

The interior consists of an irregularly shaped burial chamber with two burial niches on the right and left walls, extending about 2 meters in depth. The poor state of conservation of the facade obscures many decorative elements, but two half-crowsteps and an Egyptian cornice are recognizable.
