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 ().[1] It is considered by some Muslims to be the burial place of the Biblical Eve of the Abrahamic faiths. Richard Francis Burton mentions seeing it in The Book Of One Thousand Nights And A Night.[2] The site was sealed with concrete by the religious authorities in 1975 as a result of pilgrims praying at the tomb.
