مِيقَات يَلَمْلَم
Yalamlam is one of the five Miqat stations designated by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as recorded in authentic hadith collections. It primarily serves pilgrims 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 mosque and basic facilities for pilgrims. Yalamlam refers to a mountain in the Tihamah region of the Hejaz. Due to the increase in air travel, many pilgrims who would traditionally use Yalamlam now arrive via Jeddah airport and enter Ihram before crossing the Miqat line. However, overland travelers from Yemen still use this traditional route.
