Description
View of the back of the Sheikh Saad tombs at Mudayy. A tomb with a bell-shaped roof covered in plaster sits in the foreground. Its walls are made from large rough stones fitted with small stone slivers, and the building is decorated with a frieze of stone slabs in a zigzag pattern along the top of the tomb walls. On the right a second tomb is visible. One of the tombs has an inscription which states it is the resting place of Sheikh Saad.
