History

Marrah Mountains, mountain range, a rugged volcanic chain extending for 100 miles (160 km) west-southwest of Al-Fāshir, in western Sudan. The highest point of the Nile–Lake Chad watershed, the mountains reach heights of more than 10,000 feet (3,000 meters). Some intermittent tributaries of the Al-ʿArab River rise on the southern flanks.
