Jalajil or Jolajil (Arabic: جلاجل) is a city in the Sudair area, Saudi Arabia.[1] It is located north from Riyadh (about 180 km) and around 45.29° - 25.41°. The name Jalajil was taken from 'jaljalah' (Arabic: جلجلة), which refers to the trickling of water and its movement between the rocks of the valleys. Jalajil was mentioned by Yaqut Al-Hamawi in the Mu'jam ul-Buldān and said: "It is water that the Arabs bring down in the summer, as they usually do."[2]
