Hands of Fatima - Mt. Hombori - Places of Geologic Significance on Waymarking.com

The Hand of Fatima rock formations are near the Hombori village. The tallest tower rises 2,000 feet (610 meters) from the desert floor. The Rocks are called Hands of Fatima because they look like fingers stretching to the sky.
Hamsa is Hand of Fatima in Muslim tradition, Hand of Miriam in Jewish tradition, and possibly older than either of the great religions. The mountains consist of quarzit and sandstone.

You can climb on those rocks as well if you dare. Look at these stunning pictures:

Of course you don't have to climb there, but it would be great to post some awesome pictures.

Have fun and travel save.
