The Sanjar-Zambar mountain range includes the Teymurlenk (Tamerlane) hills, which contain the Turkmen city of Tal Afar.[6] Jabal Zambar is the highest point in the hilly area to the east of Tal Afar.[3] It is about 543 metres (1,781 ft) above sea level.[7] A shallow saddle to the northwest of Jebel Zambar divides it from the similar Jebel Sasan structure, which is about 10 by 7 kilometres (6.2 by 4.3 mi) in extent.[2]
