This three hill majestic mountain offers a spectacular view. On one hand, the palm and the Temple of the Oracle, and on the other, the vast sea of sand surrounding the oasis. The Great Salt Lake is almost at your feet. You can distinguish the rock strata formed by the horizontal stripes displaying the full ranges of pink and ochre. The Siwis believe that this mountain holds an emerald mine guarded by a Djinn (Semitic mythology).
