Mount Loura

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Loura, alt. 1515 m (Fello Luura in the Pular language) is the northernmost point and highest peak in the Fouta Djallon in northern Guinea. It is 7 km from the prefecture of Maali (also Mali-ville or Mali-Centre). It is part of a complex of mountains called the Massif de Tamgue, which rises to steep cliffs on three sides, and provides views into Senegal and Mali. Its most interesting feature, the rocky profile of an old woman (referred to as the "Dame de Maali" or "Lady of Maali"), can be seen from the nearby village of Dongol Luura.
