Al Romat Mountain

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

Al Romat Mountain, also called Ayneyn Hill or the Archers' Hill, is a small hill about 150 metres long and 40 metres wide in the Kanat valley south of Mount Uhud, roughly three kilometres north of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. Its broad, low mound of tan and grey rocky earth rises to a rounded summit, with darker path-like patches running up its face.

Al Romat Mountain, also called Jabal al-Rumah or Ayneyn Hill, lies south of Mount Uhud in the Kanat valley, about three kilometres north of the Prophet's Mosque in Medina. At the Battle of Uhud the Prophet placed fifty archers on the hill under Abdullah ibn Jubayr, ordering them to hold their positions whatever the outcome. Most left when the Meccan army seemed to retreat; Khalid ibn al-Walid's cavalry then rode around the hill and attacked the Muslims from behind.

The hill is also called Jabal al-Rumat, "Mountain of the Archers", after the fifty bowmen stationed on it. In Turkish, "Okçular Tepesi" (Archers' Hill) is used for someone who holds a post without leaving it, and the 1976 film The Message, shot by Mustafa Akkad in Morocco and Libya, shows the archers refusing to abandon the hill.

The mountain is accessible for visitors who want to explore the historical landscape. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon to avoid intense heat.

The hill is about 150 metres long and 40 metres wide, a modest rise south of Mount Uhud in the Kanat valley. Its name Ayneyn is thought to come from two springs at its foot. In Turkey, "Okçular Tepesi" is still used to describe someone who holds a post without leaving it.
