Babor Mountains

About

The Babor Range (Arabic: جبل البابور; Kabyle: Idurar n Ibabuṛen) is a mountain range of the Tell Atlas in Algeria. The highest point of the range is 2,004 m high Mount Babor. The Babor Range, together with the neighboring Bibans, is part of the mountainous natural region of Petite Kabylie.

There is a protected area in the range, the Djebel Babor Nature Reserve, known for birdwatching. It is also one of the few remaining habitats for the endangered Barbary macaque, Macaca sylvanus.
