Djebel Ghorra

Djebel Ghorra is a mountain and nature reserve in the Jendouba region that rises within the Tell Atlas range and forms a natural border between Tunisia and Algeria. The mountain features varied terrain and supports different habitats within its protected boundaries.

The mountain was established as a nature reserve in 2010, marking an important step in environmental protection efforts for the Kroumirie region. This designation aimed to safeguard the unique ecosystems and biodiversity of the area.

The mountain connects Tunisian and Algerian lands, creating a space where regional customs naturally meet. Visitors experience this border landscape as a place where different local traditions exist side by side.

Visiting requires special permits and adherence to conservation guidelines, particularly for hiking and wildlife viewing. It is wise to prepare for challenging terrain and bring appropriate gear.

The area receives the highest rainfall levels in the entire country, which allows the development of special plant and animal communities. These wetter conditions create an ecological space that differs sharply from other Tunisian mountain regions.
