It is a set of graves and facades including 29 tombs fascinatingly carved, mostly finished. All of them were made in one mountain. The local people of Madain Saleh call this collection Bint (Girl) Castle. This name has an incorrect account among the people there. The facades of the graves are distributed to three directions of the mountain extending from north to south. The number of the graves and facades in the west are 19 including one in the top of the mountain whose sculpture has not completed. It can be access through stairs on the western part of the mountain. If this façade were complete, it would be the greatest in Madain Saleh. In the south, there are seven graves, some of them are small and some are medium-size. There are also three large graves at the East to the mountain.
