Geography
[edit]The Jebel Azao is a peak in the Adrar massif of the Tassili N'Ajjer,[2]a sandstone plateau to the northeast of theHoggar Mountains[3] The mountain forms a ridge on the plateau, roughly parallel to the escarpment.[2] The massif is mainly made of sandstone, which has resulted in the formation of many natural rock arches.[4] Mt. Afao is drained by variouswadis,which converge on theWadi Imirhou.This wadi runs northeast, then turns to the northwest and disappears in theIssaouane Ergsands to the west ofIllizi.[2]
