Kediet ej Jill is a mountain in Tiris Zemmour, Mauritania, with the city of Zouérat on its east and Fderick at west. At 915 m (3,002 ft) tall, Kediet ej Jill is the highest peak in Mauritania.
The entire mountain is made of magnetite which gives its blue colour.
Due to the magnetic field, the compass is lost. That field has allowed to discover other deposits in the region (magnetite guelbs) in the 1960s.
