The Dhofar Mountains (Arabic: جِبَال ظُفَار, romanized: Jibāl Ẓufār) are a mountain range in the southeastern part of the Arabian Peninsula. In a broad sense, they extend from Dhofar Governorate in Oman to Hadhramaut Governorate in Yemen, and are located between the Hajar in the northern part of Oman, and the Sarawat in the western part of Yemen.[1] Otherwise, the range in the eastern part of Yemen, particularly near Mukalla, is referred to as the Hadhramaut[2] or "Mahrat".[1]
