Tomb IGN94 faces southeast and is carved into the southern part of the massif in sector III of the Khuraymat necropolis. The tomb belongs to the half-crowsteps typology, though it is unclear if the lower part was unfinished or degraded. The facade is less geometrically precise than others, with misaligned elements and a recessed cartouche bearing an inscription. The tomb’s entrance is decorated with an architrave and flanked by two roughened pilasters. The interior remains unfinished, with extraction blocks still present.

“This is the tomb which belongs to ‘Abda and ‘Ali’el and Gaddu, sons of ‘Aftu, and to Ahakli, their mother, daughter of Himyan, and to whoever produces a valid document to be buried in it. For them and their descendants. In the 17th year of Maliku.”
