Trail Description

Jama means a hill or a hill or mountain with a smooth rounded top. Jabal Jama Umm Khalid is one of the three mountains (Jamawaat) to the west of the city, nearby Wadi al-aqeeq.

The trail is a service road to the towers at the top of the mountain. It takes about 30 to 40 minutes to reach the first tower, where there is a beautiful view of Aziziyah. The second tower is an additional 20 to 25 minutes further up, and is at the peak of the mountain. Here, you can see a panoramic view of Madinah

The trail is quite steep, and it is easy to slip on the loose rocks and dirt, especially on the way down.
