Answer: Muslims do not walk through any mountain while on Hajj, but they stand for prayer in the city of Arafat where the mountain called Arafat is located. arafat is located approx 10-20 KM away from Makkah.
Hajj is another word for "Pilgramage." It is where Muslims go to the Ka'aba in Mecca, and run/walk around it seven times. Also, men must shave their heads. Other things done at Hajj are throwing stones at a stone pillar representing Satan, or Shatan, and running between the two hills Safa and Marwa seven times.
The hills of Safa and Marwah are located in the Masjid al-Haram complex in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. They hold great significance in the Muslim Hajj pilgrimage, as pilgrims perform the Sa'i ritual, walking and running seven times between the two hills, following the footsteps of the Prophet Ibrahim's wife, Hajar, in search of water for her son Ismail.
Because they need to get fit Its because Hagar, Ishmael's mother, was running between the two hills in search for water for her and her son. Because of this Muslims have this as part of the Hajj.
Safa and Marwa are two hills in the middle of the desert. Muslim Pilgrims go there whilst they are on hajj. It is believed that Hagar walked up and down these two hills seven times to look for water. Muslims follow her footsteps but instead of walking up and down the hills they go down this long corridor going from one hill to the other to protect them from the heat.

A passage through a hill ; underground, is called a TUNNEL. However, a passage between two hills (surface) is a VALLEY. A passage between two hills is dependent on its width. If the hills are low and far apart, then it is a VALE. However, if the hills are high and close together then it is a GLEN or RAVINE, or GORGE.
