Al Romat Mountain, Historic mountain near Uhud Mountain in Medina, Saudi Arabia

Mount Rumat stands approximately 400 meters from Mount Uhud and 5 kilometers north of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina.

During the Battle of Uhud in 625 CE, Prophet Muhammad positioned fifty archers on this mountain to protect Muslim forces from Meccan cavalry attacks.

Mount Rumat represents a significant location where Muslim visitors reflect on military discipline and the importance of following leadership instructions.

The mountain offers a strategic view of the battlefield area, making it an essential stop for visitors studying the Battle of Uhud's military tactics.

The departure of archers from this mountain during the Battle of Uhud led to a turning point that resulted in significant losses for the Muslim army.
