Rock hewn tomb

Mada’in Saleh is one of Saudi Arabia’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city was settled by the Nabataeans, whose capital was Petra in Jordan, in the first century B.C., and most of the 131 rock-cut tombs date to the first century A.D.

Some tombs carved into two large rock formations to give a sense of scale:

That's amazing. The smoothness is what really appeals to me... they've made the rough rocks into a satin. V
