They are as high as 7,000 ft and they cover an area of almost 600 km². This group of mountains constitutes a part of the Sarawat range, which is generally considered to be divided into two subranges within western Saudi Arabia: the Hijaz Mountains in the north and the 'Asir Mountains in the south. Unlike many other mountains in Saudi Arabia, the temperature of Fayfa mountains is generally moderate. The jagged rock formations are covered with green flora and have many agricultural terraces. The various fields scattered around the mountains are known for their very high peaks and green terraces. Moreover, the most famous crops planted in the fields are coffee and maize. The mountains twist around each other. Thus, from a distance, the mountains appear as one pyramid-shaped mountain.
