The peloton passes by ancient Nabataean carved tombs as it crosses the archaeological site of al-Hijr (Hegra), during the first stage of the Saudi Tour from Winter Park near Saudi Arabia's northwestern city of al-Ula on February 1, 2022. Dating back to the first century BC, the archaeological site, which is now open to tourists, includes 111 tombs most of which boast a decorated facade, cave drawings and even some pre-Nabataean inscriptions.
