The Ksour Range (Arabic: جبال القصور, French: Djebel Ksour) is a mountain range in Algeria. It is the westernmost range of the Saharan Atlas, with the Amour Range and the Ouled-Naïl Range further east.[1] The range extends between Figuig near the Moroccan/Algerian border and El Bayadh in Algeria.[2] The highest summit of the range is 2,236 m high Mount Issa or Djebel Aïssa (جبل عيسى).
The Djebel Aissa National Park is a protected area within the limits of the mountain range since 2003.[3]
