Yes, indeed he did have a tomb!
You have two choices. Tradition gives the Holy Sepulchre as the place where Jesus' body was laid. I went in there when I visited Jerusalem in 2000 and, I have to say, the place pretty revolted me - religion, crush and ornaments everywhere! However, it may be the place, but my spirit didn't like it.
There is another place which is a possibilty, and that's what is known as the Garden Tomb. You go out of the Damascus Gate, cross the road and go straight up and it's just above the bus station. Actually, there's also a skull-like rock formation above the bus station, too. There they have found a tomb in the site of an old garden which fulfills many of the biblical descriptions of the place where Jesus was laid.
This old tomb has a cross marking on it and also a very large rolling stone. The people who keep the garden don't claim that this is it, but all I know is that it FEELS much better to me.
There are arguments either way. The only thing we know for sure is that Jesus DID have a tomb - a rich man's grave, according to the scriptures (Is. 53:9) - and that he rose from this tomb on the third day and later ascended to heaven. So, there is no body and whichever is the site of the true tomb does not really matter - it is not the issue - except as matter of historical interest.
For it is belief in resurrection - of the Son of God - not a tomb, which saves us.

His tomb would have been in the same location as where the rest of his human family members were buried. Find his family's burial tomb, and you'll find where Jesus was rested after he was taken down from the cross and prepared for burial. It's a moot point, though, since he rose from the dead on the third day and never went back to it.

He was buried in someone else's tomb, (I don't remember the person's name) and as the other people have said, he rose on the third day. Jesus doesn't not only want your respect but for you to beleive in him and do what he says do or can do.

Jesus had no tomb. A tomb was a reserved for the wealthy, who could afford it in that day. Otherwise one was buried in the cliffs or a shallow grave. Jesus was laid in a borrowed tomb of a rich man, for He would only be there for a short time.

It's embarrassingly apparent that you haven't read the New Testament. Jesus was raised from the tomb on the third day and lives in Heaven! He didn't leave a body behind!

Christ has no tomb because he no longer has any need of it. That is the point, that Christ is resurrected and alive because if he was still in the tomb then his message was worthless.

Seems like the tomb of the unknown prophet would be a fairly sacred place worth preserving. Even Jesus knew people would want proof of his death and resurrection. Why didn't he tell people of his time to protect the tomb for future generations?

We don't know for sure where His tomb is.
