Mountain of Smoke
Mountain in Bahrain
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mountain of Smoke (Arabic: جبل الدخان, Jabal al Dukhan) is a hill in the Southern Governorate of Bahrain. At 134 m (440 ft) above mean sea level, it is the country's highest point. The Mountain of Smoke is named as such because of the haze which often surrounds it on humid days. A number of caves of indeterminate type are in the vicinity of this mountain.[2] This limestone mountain offers panoramic views of Bahrain island, the main land mass of Bahrain.[3]
