Mount Uhud is a majestic red-hued mountain range stretching across the northern horizon of Madinah, standing as one of the most recognizable landmarks of the city. It rises approximately 1,077 meters above sea level and its distinctive reddish-brown rock formations create a striking contrast against the desert landscape. The mountain holds a place of deep affection in the hearts of Muslims worldwide.
