Jebel ech Chambi
Jebel ech Chambi (also spelled Jebel Chaambi or Mount Ash-Sha'nabi) rises above the Kasserine plains in west-central Tunisia as the country's highest peak, its pine-cloaked summit marked by a metal crescent placed by Tunisian scouts after independence in 1956. The mountain sits within a UNESCO biosphere reserve and national park established to protect its forest and wildlife, and in ordinary circumstances is reached by 4x4 track and a two-hour forest hike from the park boundary near Kasserine city. Since December 2012, however, the Chaambi Mountains have also been the site of recurring militant activity and Tunisian military operations, and the area has at times been effectively closed to civilian access. Any visit today requires current, on-the-ground verification of security conditions rather than treating it as a routine trekking objective.
