Jebel Boukornine

Jebel Boukornine (Tunisian Arabic: جبل بُوقَرْنِين [ʒəbəl buː qɔrniːn] 'Mountain of the Two-Horned'), also spelled Djebel Bou Kornine or Mount Bou Kornine, is a 576 metres (1,890 ft) mountain in northern Tunisia overlooking the Gulf of Tunis and the city of Hammam Lif.

[1] It consists of folded and faulted outcrops of Jurassic limestone.

In ancient Carthage, the mountain was considered sacred and religious rituals were conducted there, and the deity in question was Baal Hammon, who was represented with two horns.

The massif is part of Boukornine National Park, covering an area of 1,939 hectares (4,790 acres) and protecting many species of plants and animals.

Djebel Ressas, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) to the southwest is a taller peak at 795 metres (2,608 ft).
