Al-Ajrad

About

Al-Ajrad is a mountain located in the northwest of Medina, about 90 kilometers from it, to the northeast of Yanbu, about 100 kilometers from it. Buwat Valley is located below it. It is called Al-Ajrad (hairless) because it is stripped of vegetation and has few trees, which is the opposite of the Al-Ashaar (hairy), which is dotted with trees.
