The Obelisk Tomb and the Bab as-Siq Triclinium stand as a stacked pair of monuments carved directly into the sandstone cliffs. The top structure features four pyramid-shaped obelisks representing the deceased, while the lower dining hall served as a communal space for funerary feasts. An inscription discovered here reveals the name of a man named Abdmankuw, who dedicated the monument to his family. Visitors once gathered in the lower chamber to honor the dead with shared meals and wine rituals.
