The Lion Tombs of Dadan

The Lion Tombs of Dadan are two remarkable rock-cut burial niches adorned with carved reliefs of lions, serving as powerful symbols of protection and prestige.

These tombs are located in the ancient oasis city of Dedan, near present-day Al-Ula in Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia.

From at least the 6th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE, the Kingdom of Dadan thrived in this region, becoming a significant center of culture and trade in northwestern Arabia.
