Safa and Marwa are the names of two mountains near Mataf. The path between Safa and Marwa is called Mas'a, where the pilgrims cover the distance seven times during [[Hajj]]. With the expansion in the area of al-Masjid al-Haram, Mas'a and Mataf are now connected together. It is 394.5 meters long, with its first and second floors respectively 12 and 9 meters high. At present, some part of Safa mountain still remains but a major part of the Marwa mountain was eliminated during 1995 developments and now, merely the part where the pilgrims go round remains. Mas'a all in all has eighteen gates.
