The Ksour Range or Kçour Range (Arabic: جبال القصور, or Djebel Ksour) is a mountain range in Algeria. Stretching across the provinces of Béchar and El Bayadh, it is the westernmost range of the Saharan Atlas, with the Amour Range further east.




Geography


The range extends between Figuig Province in the Oriental Region of Morocco near the Moroccan/Algerian border and El Bayadh municipality in Algeria. The range pattern continues westwards as the High Atlas.
The highest summit of the range is 2,236 m high Mount Issa or Djebel Aïssa (جبل عيسى).




Rock art


Neolithic art, in the form of engraved stones representing horses, elephants and other animals, is found in different caves and walls throughout the range (such as at Thyout).




Protected areas


The Djebel Aissa National Park is a protected area within the limits of the mountain range since 2003.
