Jabal Al Nour (Noor) - 啓示の山 - メッカ

Beautiful Mountain. Can be slippy on way down so make sure you have proper shoes! Treat yourself to ice cream after

A must visit place in Makkah if you are really healthy to climb. On top of this mountain the Holy Quran revealed to Rasul (SA). The cave Hira witnessed for that holy incident. So people are trying to reach the top to supplicate inside the cave. Better to carry some water or eatables with you. Do relax and climb. The view from the top is magnificent. Also a new access road is under construction. We can reach there by taxi by paying 25 SAR from Makkah. For return also many Taxi available for the same price. After reaching down you can take rest and fresh in Hira cultural district.

It's great that the place is getting a makeover - it is historically very important and once the works are complete it'll be great to visit. At the moment there is quite a lot of rubbish everywhere all the way up the mountain and the toilets in the shopping village at the bottom are really quite awful. Still a massive improvement from what it used to be like. There is quite a lot of shops / cafes at the bottom of the mountain and some attractions for kids in the evening. There's also an interactive museum type of a thing which we didn't find that interesting. The walk is still very steep so best to wear good shoes. And please take your rubbish with you - there's plenty of it there already.

I would climb this sacred mountain million times. People are amazing. Lot of places for refreshing. Lovely Saudi ice cream...

I only climbed 1/4 part of the climb due to my knee pain. Only healthy individuals should attempt the climb since it’s not easy. A lot of elderly and people like me decided to stay back after the initial 700m climb and waited for our group to return. I had good time making friend switch others there. Cannot be u undertaken in hot weather or darkness. Old short cuts have been almost blocked and the authorities have made a very big project at the entrance where the taxis will nowadays drop you. I’ll be adding some pics of the construction with coffee shops and toilets at the entrance as well as the Informatiom center at the start of the climb. There are now stairs almost all the way to the top. So, anyone with healthy bones and with no heart disease can try to climb.
