Tomb IGN127, located on the west side of the AlAhmar necropolis main massif, faces west. The facade is set back about 2.5 meters from the natural surface of the massif. The decorated facade exhibits half-crowsteps crowning an Egyptian entablature composed of a cornice and architrave. The angular pilasters have Nabataean Corinthian capitals. A central cartouche is inscribed below the architrave. The entrance is framed by a smooth moulding with a cornice. The tomb interior features multiple structures, including two small burial cells and secondary chambers. The interior also shows various forms of degradation, mainly organic, such as bird and insect nests
