The Hadhramaut Mountains (Arabic: جِبَال حَضْرَمَوْت, romanized: Jibāl Ḥaḍramawt),[2] also known as the "Mahrat Mountains"[1] (Arabic: جِبَال ٱلْمَهْرَة, romanized: Jibāl Al-Mahrah), are a mountain range in Yemen.[3] They are contiguous with the Omani Dhofar Mountains to the northeast,[4] and James Canton considered Aden in the southwest to be in the mountains' recesses.[5]
