مِيقَات يَلَمْلَم
Yalamlam is one of the five Miqat stations designated by النبي Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) as recorded in authentic hadith collections. It primarily serves الحجاج from Yemen, but also those traveling from parts of southern Arabia, East Africa, and historically from India and Southeast Asia via maritime routes. The modern site at Al-Sadiah features a مسجد and basic facilities for الحجاج. Yalamlam refers to a mountain in the Tihamah region of the Hejaz. Due to the increase in air travel, many الحجاج who would traditionally use Yalamlam now arrive via Jeddah airport and enter الإحرام before crossing the Miqat line. However, overland travelers from Yemen still use this traditional route.
