Ghadir Khumm, Desert oasis in Madinah Province, Saudi Arabia.

Ghadir Khumm contains natural water sources surrounded by palm trees and vegetation, forming a green area within the desert landscape.

The location gained prominence in 632 CE when Prophet Muhammad delivered his sermon to returning pilgrims after completing the Farewell Pilgrimage.

Muslims gather annually on the 18th of Dhu al-Hijjah to commemorate the Prophet's proclamation regarding leadership succession in Islamic governance.

The site remains accessible through paved roads connecting to major cities, with facilities and rest areas available for visiting pilgrims.

Natural springs within Ghadir Khumm continue to provide water resources, maintaining its function as an active oasis for modern travelers.
