Returns qasr to a Nabataean tomb at Hegra.
Qasr al-Sani at Hegra (Mada'in Salih) is an early Nabataean tomb: a front with steps and columns, inscriptions above the door, side burial chambers. Qasr here is the local word for a cut tomb, not a seat of rule.
It sits in the Hegra UNESCO site. It is not Umm Daraj and not Qasr al-Bint. The pin is exact for the facade if matched.
