Traveler reviews
taha iqbal
★★★★★3 years agoA nice mountainous site on ajyad street after kudai parking. One can have a great evening family time and enjoy the view of the clock tower and the nice breeze. Definitely winters will have its own fun but my last week visit was also not bad. Take food and do picnic with the family and take some memorable pics.

★★★★★3 years agoThere are no street lights at night. But it's worth the drive. You'll get the view of some parts of Haram and its neighboring places. Great for short picnics with the family after asr or maybe after fajr.
