Description
The Islamic prophet Muhammad assigned Yalamlam as the Miqat for pilgrims coming from the south of Mecca, particularly Yemen.[2][3][4][5] Mīqāt Yalamlam (مِيْقَات يَلَمْلَم) is nowadays a small souq with a mosque. It is situated around 100 kilometres (62 mi) southwest of Mecca, and 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Al Lith.[3][9] This Miqat is historically the sole of Wādī Yalamlam (وَادِي يَلَمْلَم). The current location is assigned by the Saudi government to be near the Red Sea coastal road (National Road No. 5), at a location called Saʿyā (سَعْيَا).[10][11]
