Medain Saleh is the Nabatean sister city of Petra. It is located 800km North of Jeddah.Medain Saleh means "Saleh's City" in Arabic and is considered to be a cursed city. The city is filled with over 100 tombs carved out of the sandstone that remains there. They were built about 2000 years ago. There was no other word to describe it but stunning.Inside the tombs, slots can be found where the bodies lay. An odd smell also still lingers in the air which can only be described as the smell of death. Many sign posts are around which explain a bit about the tombs or display the original Many sign posts are around which explain a bit about the tombs or display the original.
