The historical significance this mountain has on islamic history is undeniable. It is hard to believe it in today’s world but I would request everyone to put your shoes back during Prophet (SW) days and imagine the war zone during that time.
Visited here to ziarah cemetery of the fallen syuhada in Battle of Uhud.
The space is big. You can view the cemetery from multiple sides.
You can try to climb up the hill but be careful as the slopes are full of rocks.
I took this opportunity to say my salam and prayers to all the martyrs.
This is a secret place for Muslims in Madina. The site is massive in terms of the views and the space for walking. A few disadvantages; the square near the mountain is very filthy with the rubbish, but the cleaners are always here to clean after the tourists.It is just so sad that most of the visitors throw rubbish on the ground. Really shameful and unacceptable behavior. They distribute water bottles free of charge.

Visited Uhud Mountain on 13 April 2025. I love this place in Madinah Munawarah Saudi Arabia.
Visiting Jabal Uhud was an emotional experience. It’s not just a mountain, it’s a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and love for Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. You can feel the weight of history in the air.
