Could this also be the "Hejaz Mountains"? ErikTheBikeMan (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sarawat vs Hijaz?

The Hijaz Mountains says it is "part of the Sarawat Mountains" and the Sarawat Mountains says it is "part of the Hijaz Mountains". Which is it? Caleb Stanford (talk) 06:22, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the usage is not quite fixed. This PDF from GEO Mountains shows the Sarawat Mountains extending along the west coast of the Arabian Peninsula from Yemen to Jordan. On the other hand, UNESCO has the following:

A virtually unbroken escarpment, known as the Arabian Shield, runs the entire length of the peninsula along the Red Sea. The stretch from the Gulf of Aqaba to the middle of the Peninsula’s coastline, a few kilometres south of Makkah, is called the Hijaz Mountains (Al-Ḥijāz, meaning “the barrier”), the more elevated basaltic stretch southwards to the southern tip of Yemen is known as As-Sarawat (the chain in Arabic). The lower range which borders the Red Sea declines abruptly to form an extensive coastal area called Tihama.

I haven't found a really definitive description. Our article on Sarawat Mountains focuses on the southern mountains in and around Yemen, while Geography of Saudi Arabia (which naturally does not include Yemen) groups the northern chains (Midian, Hijaz, and Asir) under the rubric "Sarat Mountains" -- Sarat being an older form of Sarawat. -- Elphion (talk) 22:06, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
