Continued from Checking out the backstreets near the hotel.
Very late at night I brought the wife to the foot of a hill called Jabal Nur.
It is located about 5 km from Mecca city centre. We arrived by taxi at around 2am but went to look for drinks first before starting to climb almost 2.30.
This is the view about half an hour later.
We arrived at the summit about 15 minutes afterwards and these are some of the views.
These are views from a vantage point a bit below the summit.
We have to walk down to get to the cave known as the Hira', the place where Prophet Muhammad SAW used to lie in seclusion and received his first revelation from God.
