Sanam Mountain

It is a highland located in southern Iraq in the province of Basra, near the town of Safwan, near the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border, and it is one of the few highlands in that region of Iraq. The importance of this structure lies in being a unique geological and topographic phenomenon in Iraq, high in a striking image compared to the flat lands surrounding it from every side. Since the term mountain does not refer to a topographical height that does not reach 600 m above sea level or more, therefore, using this term on this structure is wrong from a scientific point of view because it has a relatively low altitude that does not exceed 152 m above sea level. However, his uniqueness in that flat area and in a manner similar to the hump (Sanam in Arabic) of a camel is believed to have been the reason why this name was given to him by the local residents of the area through successive times.
