Jabal Gārūn is located about 3 km north of Jabal ad-Dayr, reaching a height of approximately 1200 meters above sea level. This makes it one of the prominent peaks in the mountain range, offering a spectacular view of Wadi Araba. From the summit, Jabal Hārūn and the shrine at its peak are also clearly visible.

Initially thought to be a Nabataean mountain sanctuary or shrine, the site features a ruined structure that includes a stone basin filled with larger stones, and outlines of walls can be discerned on the ground. Scattered around the site are various architectural stones, such as door jambs and lintels, as well as a staircase leading up to the ruins. Numerous pottery shards, dating from the first to early second centuries CE, are found on the surface, indicating previous use. The stones from the original structure have been repurposed. According to local tradition, the site is associated with a figure named Gārūn and is referred to by Bedouins as both a maqām and a grave (qabr). It is likely that the Nabataean ruined structure was later used as a maqām or grave for a wali.
