Sarawat mountains · 1,800 m
Cool highlands, rose farms and a second Umrah via Qarn al-Manazil.
Taif sits above the clouds just 90 minutes from Makkah. Families escape the heat, buy rose water at the source, and — the part pilgrims love — return through the Miqat of Qarn al-Manazil to perform another Umrah.
Best time: April to September for roses and cool air; rose harvest peaks in April.
Things to do
Al Hada mountain road, viewpoints, Shubra Palace, the old souq and lunch — then Ihram at Qarn al-Manazil for Umrah.

Pair it with your Umrah
Private car from your Makkah hotel; Ihram stop at the Miqat on the way back.
Adab & halal notes
Yes. Taif lies outside the Miqat. On the way back to Makkah you enter Ihram at Qarn al-Manazil (As-Sail) and perform Umrah on arrival.
Harvest usually runs March to May, peaking in April. Rose water and attar are sold year-round.
