  1. The first one in Top 3 Highest Mountains in Libya that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Bikku Bitti. At 2,266 meters, Bikku Bitti, also known as Bette Peak, is Libya's highest peak (7,434 ft). It's near the Chadian border on the Dohone spur of the Tibesti Mountains in southern Libya. The Tibesti Mountains are a mountain range in the central Sahara, mostly in Chad's extreme north, with a small portion in southern Libya. Emi Koussi, the highest peak in the range, is located to the south and stands at 3,415 meters (11,204 feet), making it the highest point in both Chad and the Sahara.


    The mountain's coordinates are 22°0′13′′N 19°12′24′′E. Bikku Bitti is located in one of the most remote and difficult-to-reach areas of the Sahara Desert.


    Ginge Fullen and his Chadian guides climbed it in December 2005, approaching from the Chadian side. Despite the fact that they were not the first to summit the mountain—"there were a number of cairns on top we could clearly see," according to Fulllen—it was the first documented climb.

  2. The second one in Top 3 Highest Mountains in Libya that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Gabal El Uweinat. Mount Uwaynat, also known as Gabal El Uweinat, is a mountain range in Egypt, Libya, and Sudan. It is considered a crucial testament to the emergence of early pastoralism in the Sahara because of hundreds of prehistoric rock art sites.


    Mount Uwaynat is located around 40 kilometers southeast of Jabal Arkanu. On the Libyan side of the mountain, the primary spring, Ain Dua, is located near the foot of the mountain. The western foot is 618 meters high and covered with enormous rocks that have fallen due to erosion (according to Hassanein, it is positioned at 21°52′29′′N 24°54′16′′E). The western slope, with its wells, plants, and grass, is a veritable oasis.


    The western section of the massif is made up of intrusive granite that forms a 25-kilometer-wide ring that ends in three valleys (wadis) named Karkur Hamid, Karkur Idriss, and Karkur Ibrahim. Sandstone dominates the eastern portion, which ends in Karkur Talh. There is a permanent oasis (Guelta) in Karkur Murr called Ain El Brins (Bir Murr).


    Four plateaus emerge from the surrounding desert's level in the sandstone section: the Hassanein plateau, which is joined to an unidentified plateau by a narrow neck, the Italia plateau, and another unnamed plateau. The Italia plateau is home to Uweinat's highest point. On the summit, there are two cairns, one built by R.A. Bagnold and the other by Captain Marchesi in the 1930s.


    Location: in the area of the Egyptian-Libyan-Sudanese tripoint.

    Elevation: 1,934 m (6,345 ft)

  3. The third one in Top 3 Highest Mountains in Libya that Toplist would like to introduce to you is Jabal Arkanu. Mount Arkanu, also known as Jabal Arkanu, Jebel Arkenu, or Gebel Rchenu, is a Libyan mountain. The mountain is around 300 kilometers southeast of El Tag and 70 kilometers west of Arkanu and the two Arkenu constructions in Libya's Libyan Desert, in the Kufra District. It rises 500 meters above the neighboring Gilf Kebir plateau and a valley-oasis to a height of 1,435 meters (4,708 feet). Mount Arkanu stretches for 28 kilometers (17 miles) and is 18 kilometers (11 miles) wide.


    Arab sources have known about Arkanu's existence since 1892. Ahmed Hassanein was the first to discover Arkanu in 1923. The mountain is made up of granite intrusions. The valley stretches for 15 kilometers and is oriented east-west. The valley boasts a lush greenery with plants, grass, and a few trees.


    Arkanu is utilized for grazing. The Bedouins bring their herds to the valley every year, leave them there, and block the entrance with boulders (at a height of 598 meters (1,962 feet). Three months later, they return to claim their livestock.
