Idinen, Mountain range in Ghat District, Libya.

The Idinen mountain range rises to an elevation of 1130 meters in southwestern Libya, forming a natural fortress of rock formations.

During the 19th century, explorers James Richardson and Heinrich Barth attempted to climb Idinen, facing severe physical challenges that led to medical emergencies.

Local Berber Tuareg communities refer to Idinen as the Devil's Hill, connecting the mountain to ancient beliefs about guardian spirits and supernatural encounters.

The mountain range requires extensive preparation for climbing expeditions, as guides typically remain at the base due to traditional local restrictions.

The mountain formations near Idinen create massive natural sculptures visible from the trail between Meggedet and Ghat along the Algerian border.
