The Caves of Shuaib, also known as the Dwellings of Jethro, are a collection of first-century CE Nabatean tombs located near the town of al-Bad’a in Tabuk, present-day Saudi Arabia. This necropolis is part of the extensive al-Malhah region, which spans over a square kilometer and is linked to other surviving Nabatean cave-tombs. According to local tradition, this site is believed to be where Prophet Shuaib, referred to as Jethro in biblical texts, resided.
