Hegra is an ancient city in Saudi Arabia that has remained untouched for millennia. Now, tourists can explore its mysterious and eye-catching architecture, a mixture of influences from Mesopotamian, Iranian, Greek, and Egyptian civilizations. The 111 tombs at Hegra are in remarkable condition, many featuring intimidating inscriptions carved in proto-Arabic warning of fines and divine curses for trespassers. With the help of storytellers and hop-on-hop-offs buses, visitors can uncover the secrets held within Hegra and gain insight into the forgotten Nabataean empire, who were master merchants that controlled the spice and incense trade routes to the Mediterranean and beyond. So come get lost in the rocky outcrops and giant boulders, and be prepared for a wonderful journey through history and culture!
