Jabal Abu Makhruq

Jabal Abu Makhruq (Arabic: جبل أبو مخروق), or in Najdi vernacular pronunciation as Jabal Abo Makhrog and popularly known as Camel's Eye (Arabic: عين الجمل), is a conical limestone hill with a natural arch through it in the ad-Dubbat neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With an elevation of approximately 50 meters, it is so named for a 7 to 8 meters wide, almost oval hole through the top of the hill that was formed due to erosion. It was mentioned in Yaqut al-Hamawi's 13th century work Kitāb Mu'jam al-Buldān as Jabal Kharba (Arabic: جبل الخربة) and was once a stopover for caravans arriving from Eastern Arabia en route to the walled town of Riyadh. The hill was once infamous among locals to be purportedly haunted by Jinns and demons.
