Safa is a mountain located inside the Grand Mosque in Makkah al-Mukarramah in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Pilgrims and Umrah performers begin their Sa'i ritual, the walk between the hills of Safa and Marwa Mountains.
Safa is located to the south, slightly towards the east, about 130 m from al-Kaaba al-Musharrafa. It is characterized by its smooth black stones.
Safa Mountain is adjacent to the eastern courtyard of the Grand Mosque from the outside. During the reign of King Fahd Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the area of Safa on the first floor was expanded. Under the reign of King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the total width of the Sa'i area was doubled, and it now has four floors.
