Mountain up to 6,440 ft (1,963 m) the arabs regard Gattar a gentle massif rather than rugged monolith, as an accommodating mounrain. It figures strongly in Khushmaan geographic identity. The bedouins have roots there: it was in the Gattar environs that one of the founding fathers of Egyptian Khushmaan, Sulimaan Awaad Raadhi, spent his life after coming from Arabia. Gattaar boasts four permanent water sources, several fine garden sites, abundant ibex, extensive stands of acacias, and wadis full of ben-trees. The nomad estimate that between two hundred and three hundred animals inhabit the Gattaar massif and that perhaps half that number lives on Jebel Shaayib.
