Dadan

One of the most exciting displays is more than a dozen tombs cut into the red-rock cliff faces east of the city. From afar, these look like simple dark rectangles. A closer look reveals skilfully crafted funerary monuments, including the seated lion sculptures that mark the famous Lion Tombs. These tombs are up to 50 metres above ground level — spurring the imagination of how they were carved without modern construction equipment.
