Jebel Moussa, Mountain summit in Fahs Anjra Province, Morocco
The northern peak of Jebel Moussa rises to 830 meters above sea level, forming part of the Rif mountain chain near the Strait of Gibraltar.
Ancient Greeks and Phoenicians named this mountain Abyla, while Romans referred to it as Columna, marking the southern boundary of the known world.
The mountain bears the name of Musa bin Nusayr, a significant Berber Muslim figure mentioned in the writings of medieval explorer Ibn Battuta.
Hiking trails begin at Belyounech village, located 70 kilometers from Tangier, with the complete trek covering 12 kilometers over approximately 7.5 hours.
The mountain serves as a crucial observation point for monitoring migratory birds, including raptors and storks, as they cross between continents.
