If you're searching for outdoor excitement, make a day trip to Jabal al-Nour. No walk around the block, this hike is great for some mid-vacation exercise.
This steep landmass in Mecca comes recommended by travelers, so leave a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think the sightseeing ends there, however. There are many more places waiting for you to appreciate after Jabal al-Nour. Kaaba, Great Mosque of Mecca, and Abraj Al-Bait Towers are close by.
