The Tibesti Mountains are a mountain range across Libya and Chad, about 380 km (236 mi) long, rising to Emi Koussi at 3,445 m (11,302 ft). This map shows the range on shaded relief, with peaks, rivers, borders and cities.
How to read this map
The highest point of the Tibesti Mountains is Emi Koussi, 3,445 m (11,302 ft) above sea level. The range is about 380 km (236 mi) long. It extends across Libya and Chad.
The dashed outline marks the Tibesti Mountains as mapped by Natural Earth.
Greens show lower elevations; tan and brown show higher land, with pale tones toward the highest terrain. Shadows emphasize the slopes, and vertical relief is exaggerated so landforms are easier to read. Dashed lines show country borders.
The relief uses Terrain Tiles (SRTM, GMTED2010 and ETOPO1 elevation data). Rivers, lakes, borders and the outline of the Tibesti Mountains come from Natural Earth, and the figures on this page from Wikidata. Natural Earth draws features at a small scale, so the outline is a guide to where the Tibesti Mountains are, not a surveyed boundary.
