context_page_description: The Hijaz Mountains, Arabic: جِـبَـال ٱلْـحِـجَـاز‎, romanized: Jibāl al-Ḥijāz, or the "Hejaz Range", is a mountain range located in the Hejazi region of western Saudi Arabia. The range runs north and south along the eastern coast of the Red Sea, and can thus be treated as including the Midian Mountains, and being part of the Sarawat Mountains, broadly speaking.
context_section_description: The Arabian leopard had been sighted here. In ancient times, it was reported that Musa al-Kadhim, a descendant of Muhammad, encountered a lion in the wilderness north of Medina. Hamadryas baboons can be seen near settlements, like those of Al Hada and Al-Shafa near Ta'if.
