Facts and practical information
The Sinjar Mountains are a 100-kilometre-long mountain range that runs east to west, rising above the surrounding alluvial steppe plains in northwestern Iraq to an elevation of 1,463 meters. The highest segment of these mountains, about 75 km long, lies in the Nineveh Governorate. The western and lower segment of these mountains lies in Syria and is about 25 km long. The city of Sinjar is just south of the range. These mountains are regarded as sacred by the Yazidis. ()
