30 Jebal Habis Unfinished Tomb and Crusaders Castle in Petra, Jordan

Dwarfed by the much larger Umm al-Beyyara mountain on the left, the Jebal Habis mount on the right is far more fascinating. The face of the cliff shows evidence of an enormous and elaborate unfinished tomb. Had it been completed, it would have been one of the largest burial monuments in Petra. Less visible in this photo are the ruins of a Crusaders castle at the peak. The al-Habis fortress was built in 1115 AD but is now mostly in ruins.
