Jabal Khandama stands as the second mountain behind Abu Qubays in Makkah, soaring over five hundred meters above sea level. With a steady stream of pilgrims arriving, the city of Makkah is undergoing constant transformation. The Jabal Khandama Development Project is part of the broader revitalization of Central Makkah, aiming to connect Khandama Mountain through a newly engineered transportation network and prepare land for construction. The project's goal is to expand the prayer area, establish various facilities, and enhance pilgrim experiences.
From the vantage point of Jabal Khandama, one can directly gaze upon and access the Haram and the Ka'bah – the most sacred site in Islam – nestled within the central courtyard of the Holy Mosque. The site features a park that offers panoramic views of Masjid al-Haram and the Clock Tower, both situated 2 kilometers away. Thanks to its pleasant climate, the location also welcomes campers year-round.
