Nawamis

Nawamis are circular stone tombs located in the Sinai desert. The bones found in the tombs date from 4000–3150 BCE.

Nawamis are constructed of sandstone, about 2–2.5 m (6.6–8.2 ft) high and 3–6 m (9.8–19.7 ft) in diameter, and have openings facing West.

Some authorities believe that the stone structures are younger than the remains found therein.

There are two spots with Nawamis on the road from Dahab to St. Catherine:
