Mount Uhud pictures

My local neighbourhood. New buildings being built. Most people live in apartment buildings. You can see Mount Uhud in the background.

Long view shot of Uhud. The archers mountain is on the right and where the shuhuda (martyrs) are buried is on the left.

Archers mountain.

Archers mountain on the right hand side.

Closeup of the archers mountain.

People at the bottom of the archers mountain infront of Shuhuda Uhud. Behind the blue signs and the wall is the graves of the martyrs of the Battle of Uhud including Hamza radi allahu anhu.

A mosque next to Uhud.

Shuhuda Uhud.

This is a photo from the top of the archers mountain. The graves are inside those walls that you can see in the middle.

I took this photo from the top of the archers mountain of Medina so you can get a general view of it

.

Another photo from the top of the archers mountain. If you look in the distance on the left hand side, you can see the minarets of the Prophet’s mosque. I was really surprised how close the Battle of Uhud happened.

An obligatory shot of a mountain since I love them so much!
