Jabal Omar

'Jabal Omar (Arabic: جبل عمر) is a neighbourhood located in Makkah, Saudi Arabia south of the Al Haram district.

The Jabal Omar project is a development project in Jabal Omar, including a mix of residences, hotels, and commercial buildings designed to serve people coming to the area on pilgrimage.

It was started in 2006, when the Saudi government set up the Jabal Omar Development Company with an initial budget of $1.6 billion, and plans to construct over 90 buildings.

[1] Designs and architectural support have come from companies including Foster and Partners[2] and Buro Happold.
