The Tomb of Eve is a historic site in Jeddah associated with the biblical and Quranic figure Eve. According to local tradition, this is where Eve was buried after her exile from Eden. The site features a long, low tomb structure, said to be 120 meters in length, reflecting the legendary stature of Eve. Although the tomb was sealed by religious authorities in the 1970s, the location remains a point of interest for visitors curious about Islamic and pre-Islamic lore. The site is now a simple, walled enclosure, but its historical significance draws pilgrims and tourists alike.
