Jebel ech Chambi (Arabic: جبل الشعانبي Jabal ash-Sha‘ānabī; also Mount Ash-Sha'nabi) is a mountain peak in Tunisia.
Jebel ech Chambi is a peak of the Monts de Tébessa at the eastern end of the Atlas Mountains in the centre-west of Tunisia, 17 km (11 mi) north-west of the city of Kasserine and a few kilometres from the Algerian border.
It was Les Scouts Tunisiens, in the aftermath of the country's independence in 1956, who placed a metal crescent, a symbol of Islam, to mark their ascent.
It is composed of caliche, a sedimentary rock, a hardened natural cement of calcium carbonate that binds other materials together.
[4] Since December 2012, Jebel ech Chambi has been the theatre of many military operations of Tunisian armed forces against groups of Islamist terrorists hidden in the caves of the mountain.
