Description


Tomb of Eve

The Tomb of Eve, also known as Eve's Grave and Eve's Tomb, is an archeological site located in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia (21°29′31″N 39°11′24″E / 21.49194°N 39.19000°E / 21.49194; 39.19000). It is considered by some Muslims to be the burial place of Eve. Prince Faisal, Viceroy of Hejaz, destroyed it in 1928.[2] In 1975, the site was also sealed with concrete by religious authorities, who disapprove of pilgrims praying at tombs.[3]
