Dar al-Darb Tombs in Qarawat Bani Hasan / Salfit

Dar al-Darb is located southeast of the village of Qarawa Bani Hasan in the Salfit Governorate. In Arabic, the name means "House of Coinage," and the connection between this name and the site is not clear. There is no evidence supporting a link between this name and "darb" in the sense of a road, as mentioned in some social media sources. The site was described in the Western Palestine Survey, and the term "Dar al-Darb" appeared on British maps.

The site consists of tombs carved into solid rock, containing three chambers. The facade features Ionic-style columns and a decorated cornice. The decorations include triangles and various floral designs, closely resembling the tombs of the sultans in Jerusalem from the first century CE. This private tomb is believed to belong to a figure of social or military elite.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, in collaboration with the Municipality of Salfit, undertook tourism development work at the site, transforming it into an archaeological park. However, work was halted by the Israeli occupation authorities, attempting to link it to nearby settlements.
