The tomb IGN101 is located in sector V of the Khuraymat necropolis, in a relatively isolated position in the southern area of the massif. The final appearance of the tomb reveals the complexity of its construction phase, marked by numerous geological flaws that probably led the stonecutters to leave the facade incomplete. The entrance is a simple rectangular opening raised about 3.60 meters from the ground, with some incised inscriptions to the right. Internally, it features a rectangular burial chamber with three pit tombs occupying almost the entire floor space.

The chamber’s interior is affected by deposits of sand, soil, and debris, preventing detailed evaluation of the tombs’ bottom parts. The facade shows two half-crowsteps on a plain background, an Egyptian cornice, and a canopy carved above to protect from weathering.
