Jabal Thawr

This mountain in Saudi Arabia, specifically located in the lower part of Makkah is one of the holiest sites of Islam and holds a lot of historical importance too. This is where you'll find Thawr Cave, the place where the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companion Abu Bakr (May Allah be pleased with him) sought refuge for 3 days from Quraysh, as they left Makkah for migration to Madinah.

 

To protect them from the enemies, Allah had a spider spin a web at the cave's entrance. After looking at the spider web and dove nest, the Quraysh concluded their search and left.  

 

Jabal Thawr is one of the important places to visit for pilgrims around the holy city. But due to its distance from the center, it rarely gets crowded. It's the perfect place for when you want to express your devotion without a lot of distractions.
