Special thanks to John and Kathy Haberman for all the photos below this point. Their contributions have greatly aided us in recording Meda’in Saleh for those who cannot enter Saudi Arabia at this time.
Altar niches
Three block gods share a niche. Notice the decorations above the niche. Dan Gibson has suggested that this represent the three daughters, AlUzza, AlLat and AlMenawat
Steps up to a niche and god block. Notice the small cistern for washing and cleansing to the right of the steps.
Whatever was in the niche has long since been removed.
Notice the niches cut along the walls of this room.
This niche seem to be in a more religious area.
