Jabal Ishkul, Mountain summit in Ichkeul National Park, Tunisia.

The limestone mountain reaches an elevation of 511 meters above sea level, forming a distinct silhouette against the Mediterranean horizon of northern Tunisia.

The mountain has served as a geographical landmark since ancient times, guiding maritime traders navigating the Mediterranean routes between Carthage and Europe.

Local shepherds maintain traditional grazing practices on the mountain slopes, following seasonal patterns that have been passed down through generations.

Visitors can access the summit through marked trails starting from the park entrance, with the ascent taking approximately three hours during favorable weather conditions.

The mountain contains marble quarries that supplied construction materials for numerous Roman buildings across North Africa during the imperial period.
