History

Enam Mountain is a location in the geographical vicinity of Medina that bears traces of Ottoman military structures. The Ottoman Empire built various outposts and positions in the surrounding mountains to protect Medina and ensure the security of the region. The structure on Enam Mountain is part of this defensive line. During World War I, these positions were effectively used under the command of Fahreddin Pasha.
