Yalamlam

Yalamlam is a mountain and valley south of Mecca, on the road followed by pilgrims coming from Yemen. It is one of the prescribed places where travellers enter the state of ihram before performing the pilgrimage. The seasonal wadi descends from the Ta'if highlands across the Tihama plain, marking a passage between the Sarawat mountains and the Red Sea coast on the approach to the holy city.
