Tomb IGN54 is located on the eastern side of the massif furthest east in sector I of the Khuraymat necropolis. It is in a particularly poor state of conservation, with the facade suffering from severe erosion and partial collapse. The tomb’s position in the massif, which has a lower height and less stable stone quality, contributed to its current deteriorated state.
The facade originally featured a row of crowsteps, including two half-crowsteps and three complete crowsteps, though their details are now difficult to confirm. Below these, an Egyptian entablature with a cornice and torus molding supported the structure. Only the upper part of the right pilaster and its Nabataean Corinthian capital remain, with the left pilaster entirely lost. The right capital is decorated with geometric motifs, including U-shaped lines and an abacus flower.

The interior consists of a single burial chamber, but its exact shape and features are unclear due to extensive erosion and decohesion. The interior also shows various forms of degradation, including scaling, exfoliation, and disintegration across all walls.
