History
Prior to October 2018, both Jabal Ferwa and Jabal Soudah were the two highpoint candidates of Saudi Arabia, with the latter widely believed to have been the country highpoint, but an October 2018 climbing expedition, using survey grade Trimble Geo 7X GPS unit on both Jabal Ferwa and Jabal Sawda determined with 98% confidence that Jabal Ferwa is Saudi Arabia's highest point, being higher than Jabal Sawda by 2 to 4 metres.

However, the Saudi authorities still recognize officially Jabal Soudah as the highest point of Saudi Arabia.
