Hattinحطين

The twin-peaked hill above Galilee where Salah al-Din destroyed the Crusader army in 1187.

On 4 July 1187 Salah al-Din trapped a thirsty Crusader army here and destroyed it, capturing King Guy and executing Reynald of Chatillon, who had attacked pilgrims and threatened Madinah. Three months later Jerusalem was his. A shrine nearby is held by local tradition to be the tomb of Shuayb.
