Karibu (architect)
Karibu was a Nabatean architect who worked in the Arab city of Hegra in the first century .
He was the son of the stonemason Abd'obodat , with whom he is named on a graffito. Since it is the only surviving signature, his work is unclear. However, the designation as an architect and the mention together with his father suggests that Karibu worked on the grave facades of Hegra like his father.
