The Five Highest Peaks of the Arabian Peninsula

The Arabian Peninsula contains a lot of high mountains, for example, the Hijaz mountain range, which is part of the largest range, the Red Sea mountain range in the west of the Arabian Peninsula, but this is the only mountain range in the peninsula, the Republic of Yemen also contains one of the highest mountains in the peninsula, which is Mount Nabi Shuaib, and in this article we will talk in some detail about the five highest peaks in the Arabian Peninsula.

Mount of the Prophet Shuaib (Mount of Presence)

Mount Nabi Shuaib is the highest mountain peak in the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant as well, as its height exceeds three thousand meters and is part of a volcanic chain called the triangular chain in the Republic of Yemen, and the mountain was named by this name in relation to the effects in it, which in turn are also attributed to the Prophet Shuaib, who was sent to Mikhlaf presence - the region or province of attendance according to the Yemeni name Qiddiya - but they lied and killed him and immediately after their authority was eliminated by the most famous Babylonian king "Nebuchadnezzéd" Nasr II."

It is believed that the Prophet Shu'ayb is not a debtor who was a contemporary of Moses (peace be upon him) and married one of his daughters.

The mountain includes monuments belonging to the Prophet Shuaib, including his mausoleum and a mosque, and despite the difficult terrain in the region, it is not without a population, as it has more than four thousand people, according to the 2004 census.

Souda Mountain

The mountain is located in the Asir region in the south of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and is part of the Asir mountain range and its height also exceeds the barrier of three thousand meters and is the highest mountain in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ever.

The importance of Mount Souda comes not only from being the highest among the mountains of the Kingdom, but also from being an excellent tourist attraction, and many tourists come from inside and outside the Kingdom to live the experience of riding the mountain's teleferk, which connects it to the city of Abha.

There are also a group of tourist villages in the area, which collectively form Souda Park. In addition to the service development projects carried out by the authorities in the Kingdom to link the Jabal Al-Soudah area with the Tihama plains, which is also one of the most important areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which includes very important cities in the Kingdom such as Mecca, Jeddah, Al-Qunfudhah, Yanbu and others.

Mount Branches

Mount Farou is one of the highest mountain peaks in the Kingdom and in the peninsula, which is also part of the Asir mountain range and in turn also exceeded the barrier of three thousand meters and is located south of Abha and there is a conflict of numbers about who among the peaks of the branches and Souda is the highest on divorce in the Kingdom, but it is thought that the differences between them do not exceed a few centimeters, so trying to search for which is the highest will not change the fact that they are close in length in something.

Jebel Farou also has activities that attract tourism, but they are different from those in Jabal Souda, as they are represented in climbing the mountain and having the adventure of living nature by itself instead of just watching it from the cable car windows.

Jebel Shams

Jebel Shams is located in the Sultanate of Oman and is located in the Wilayat of Al-Hamra in the Governorate of Al-Dakhiliya and has taken its name from being the first thing on which the sun rises in the Sultanate because it is the highest mountain peak in it at all, and this is what makes it also the last thing that the sun sets from, so it was his name by which he is known to this day. The mountain covers many trees, some of which are wild and found due to nature, such as bots, alalan and olive trees, and some of them were also planted by the residents of the area, such as peach and apple trees.

Mount gypsum

Located in the north of the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, Gypsum Mountain is approximately 25 km from the city, and it is the highest mountain peak in the United Arab Emirates, with a height of more than 1900 meters, and it is one of the Hajar mountain range.

The site of Mount Gypsum has a group of farms and trees that are watered by the rain that falls periodically on the mountain, and sometimes snow falls on the mountain. This makes it a tourist attraction, especially after the UAE has developed the area and established service and recreational facilities such as cable cars.
