Arwa or Jabal Arwa (Arabic: جبل عروى) is a mountain in Asir Region, Saudi Arabia. It stands isolated from neighboring mountain ranges, surrounded by sands, just north of the Mureibekh plain. A few water wells known as Arwa wells (Arabic: آبار عروى) are located 2 km to the south east of the mountain.

The mountain was known in ancient times and was frequently mentioned in Arabic poetry of the region.[1]
