## Travel Guide

![“Qasr al-Farid” means “the lonely castle”, so called because it stands completely isolated from the others. But despite its fanciful name, Qasr al-Farid is only a tomb. It was carved out of a single rock sometime in the first century A.D., but its facade was never finished which makes the tomb an interesting study. The heavily chiselled surface of the lower third documents how these tombs were fashioned from the top down. Qasr al-Farid is just one of ninety-odd such monumental tombs carved here during the heyday of the Nabataeans.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6131697/2e554f36-2f3a-4311-b5e3-5bbbfdb1ed9e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)
