From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jabal Mana' (Arabic: جبل منعاء) is a large mountain, located in the Tannumah area of Bani Shahr, in the Asir region in the southwestern of Saudi Arabia, with a height of 2,782 meters (9,127 feet).

The mountain has a circumference at the base estimated at ten kilometers. There are several petroglyphs including inscriptions of a snake and giants. The interpretation of the glyphs is still uncertain. Near the top of the mountain there is a large cave with inscriptions on the ceiling. The cave rises above a mosque on the hilltop.

It is considered one of the greatest mountains in the Saudi Kingdom.[citation needed] Waterfalls flow from it when the rain comes. Historians like Hamada Ni and several poets have described the mountain including Hashim bin Taha, Mataa Yataj, and Sarat al-Sarhawi.
