The mountain is located in the Libyan Desert in the Kufra District of Libya, about 300 km southeast of El Tag.

Its height is 1,435 metres (4,708 ft), rising about 500 m above the surrounding Gilf Kebir plateau and a valley-oasis.

Each year the Bedouins bring their herds to the valley, leave them there and block the entrance (located at a height of 598 metres (1,962 ft)) with rocks.

A single bovid petroglyph was found on an isolated rock about 40 meters upstream, acting as an intermediary signpost to the next site.

These newly discovered Arkenu rock art sites provide additional insights into the rich cultural heritage and symbolic significance of this remote desert region.
