Ta'if

Hill town in the Sarat mountains south-east of Mecca, 1,680 m above sea level, home of the Thaqif tribe in early Islam and later the summer capital of western Arabia. The Prophet visited it in 619 CE and it was besieged in 630 CE. Before Islam it had a brick wall and fortresses, and the valley of Wajj, which gave it its early name, was declared a haram in the agreement between the Prophet and the Thaqif.
