The Mountain of Smoke (Arabic: جبل الدخان, Jabal ad Dukhan) is a hill in the Southern Governorate of Bahrain which is the highest point in the country. It stands at 134 m (440 ft) above mean sea level. 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 the mountain.[2]
