IGN50

Tomb IGN50 is part of the Khuraymat necropolis, located in the eastern massif of sector I, sharing the rock face with tombs IGN51, IGN52, IGN53, and IGN54. The façade is of the half-crowsteps type but is heavily eroded, with only fragments of the decoration remaining. The entrance is currently below ground level due to sand and debris accumulation, creating a small dune.

The interior consists of a rectangular burial chamber with three burial niches, each containing a pit tomb that is currently filled with water. The overall state of conservation is poor, with the lower portion of the façade mostly lost.
