Sunset at Jabal Khandamah

Exploring Makkah’s hidden gem: Jabal Khandamah View Point is a sunset experience you absolutely don’t want to miss! 🌅✨ Must-See Spot: Jabal Khandamah View Point (Ar Rawabi, 9548, Saudi Arabia, Makkah 24235) – This elevated perch rewards you with panoramic city views and a real sense of peace away from the bustle. Try timing your visit for sunset: the city glows below, and it’s seriously Insta-worthy. Travel Hack 🏞️ Book a sunset picnic set-up! We had comfy Arabian red carpets laid out, plus fresh fruits, biscuits, and piping hot coffee to enjoy as the sun dipped behind the skyline. Bring a light jacket—it gets breezy up there—and your favorite snacks if you want to DIY the vibes. Getting There: Local taxis and ride-hailing are easiest, but if you’re adventuring solo, the spot’s address helps make navigation smooth. There’s minimal signage so plot your route in advance. Foodie Tip 🍉🍪☕ You can pre-order local snacks or coffee sets via some tour hosts, but packing a thermos and fruit from your hotel works too—fresh dates are perfect! Don’t forget water since there aren’t shops at the viewpoint. Extra Info: No entry ticket required, but sunset gets somewhat busy so arrive 30 minutes before Golden Hour to claim your spot. Modest dress is a must, and keep cash for tips or impromptu purchases. #makkahviews #sunsetspot #saudiarabiatravel #tripdotcom #hiddengems
