Tomb IGN64 is located on the eastern flank of the main massif in sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis. The facade belongs to the proto-Hegra type 1 style, featuring two half-crowsteps resting on an Egyptian entablature. The facade is particularly characterized by its irregularities, with extensive alveolization and horizontal strata. The burial chamber includes a secondary chamber accessible from the back wall and an external burial cell excavated in the left trench.
