A pre-Islamic people, Nabataeans carved palatial tombs at Mada'in Salih some 3000 years ago. Today they stand in near pristine condition in the desert of Saudi Arabia. The Nabataean inhabited most of this region stretching from Petra in present day Jordan, all the way to Mada'in Salih. In 106 CE, the Nabatean kingdom was annexed by the Romans due to their lucrative trade routes.
