The Sarawat Mountains (Arabic: جِبَالُ ٱلسَّرَوَاتِ, romanizedJibāl as-Sarawāt), also known as the Sarat in singular case,[1] is a part of the Hijaz Mountains[citation needed] in the western part of the Arabian Peninsula. In a broad sense, it runs parallel to the eastern coast of the Red Sea, and thus encompasses the mountains of Fifa',[2] 'Asir[3] and Taif[4][5] (which can be seen as including the Midian Mountains).[6] In a narrow sense, the Sarawat start in Taif city in Saudi Arabia, and extend to the Gulf of Aden in the south, running along the entire western coast of Yemen, in what used to be North Yemen, and extend eastwards into part of what used to be South Yemen, thus running parallel to the Gulf of Aden.[1][7]
