A legend of an unfinished love that formed Wahba Crater: In a dark night, a lightning bolt illuminated Qitn Mountain revealing its beauty making Tamya Mountain fall in love with it, promising to move toward its lover; however, Chliman Mountain’s jealousy intercepted such love shooting an arrow to Tamya Mountain demolishing the mountain to be a hole.
