Deir ad-Derb

Qarawat Bani Hassan, Palestine

Deir ed-Darb (Arabic: دير الدرب, lit. 'The monastery of the road') is a monumental rock-cut tomb in the village of Qarawat Bani Hassan in the West Bank. The tomb displays architectural elements typical of late Second Temple Judea, with notable similarities to tombs from the same period in Jerusalem; based on these features, scholars date it to the 1st century BCE. The site was investigated by archaeologists in the 1970s.
