The mountains on the Arabian Peninsula range in heights from 1,200 feet to 12,000 feet.  Temperatures can get very cool at the summit and sometimes this causes frosty to form.

Mountains

The mountains trap rain that can't pass over them and that leaves the land on one side of the mountains fertile and land on the other side very dry.

Frankincense and myrrh are made by collecting the tree sap from the few trees located on coastal plains.
