Mount Loura
Dame de Maali
Mount Loura, alt. 1515 m
is the northernmost point
and highest peak in the
Fouta Djallon in northern
Guinea. It is 7km from the
prefecture of Mali (also
Mali-ville or Mali-Centre).
It is part of a complex set
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.
