'''Ithlib Mountain''' is a sandstone mountain located in eastern [[Hegra]], [[Al-Ula Valley]].

==History==
During the {{Wiki|Nabataean Kingdom|Nabataean period}}, the mountain was carved to include many sacred and functional spaces, such as niches made to house betyls (rectangular stones symbolizing Nabataean deities) and a large room meant for meetings, banquets and ritual feastings. The complex also included a system of channels, cisterns and reservoirs to supply water to Ithlib.<ref name= "DB Ithlib Mountain">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[Database: Rites of Passage]]</ref>

After rescuing his father, [[Ishaq ibn Khalid|Ishaq]], from the clutches of [[Nimlot]] at the [[Roman Fort Ruins]], [[Basim ibn Ishaq|Basim]] made camp at Ithlib Mountain. Ishaq, suffering from memory issues, believed he was in [[Samarra]] about to leave his young son behind and wished to see the sunrise one last time near a tomb similar to the ones in [[Al-Ula Valley]]. Deciding against breaking the illusion, Basim offered to accompany Ishaq to the tomb, leading him to the [[Al-Banat Mountain]] necropolis to watch the sunrise together.<ref name= "In the Vulture's Nest">''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]'' – [[In the Vulture's Nest]]</ref> At the site, Basim also recovered a paper containing ''Ya Atlal Al-Ams'' (O Remains of Yesterday), an oud melody.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Mirage]] – [[Valley of Memory]]''</ref>
