It stands at about 3,200 meters above sea level, and its topographic prominence of 1,944 meters qualifies it as an ultra, a summit rising more than 1,500 meters above the surrounding terrain.[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Location | Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, Iran, Middle East[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) |\n| Elevation | 3,200 meters (10,499 feet) per GeoNames-based sources; 3,190 m in climbing and ultra-prominence lists[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) • [2](https://climbing-history.org/summits/location/Iran) |\n| Coordinates | 30.4907° N, 50.9002° E (30° 29′ 27″ N, 50° 54′ 1″ E)[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) |\n| Alternative names | Kūh-e Hāmī, Kuh-e Khami[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) |\n| Database identifiers | GeoNames ID 132117; Wikidata ID Q26885015[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) |\n\n## Location and geography\n\nThe mountain lies in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, a province of the Zagros fold-and-thrust belt in southwestern Iran. Its coordinates place it at 30.4907° north and 50.9002° east, and the open location code 8H2GFWR2+73 identifies the same point.[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) The GeoNames database records the feature under the name Kuh-e Hami in Kohgiluyeh va Buyer Ahmad at slightly different rounded coordinates, 30.4925° N, 50.900276° E.[3](https://www.islamicfinder.org/id/world/iran/1272/)\n\nSeveral localities surround the peak. The area of Pazīr lies about 3.5 km to the east and the locality of Tang Tīseh about 4 km to the northeast; farther out are Khānehhā-ye ‘Ashāyerī-ye Barābar (6 km northeast), Kūhsārak-e ‘Olyā (7 km north), and Cheshmeh Reshteh (7 km northeast).[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)\n\n## Neighboring summits\n\nKuh-e Hami rises among a cluster of named mountains. Kūh-e Marīz stands 3.5 km to the west and Kūh-e Gonāveh 5 km to the west, Kūh-e Kows̄arak 5 km to the north, and Kūh-e Konār 6 km to the south. The Emāmzādeh Seyyed Moḩammad Shrine, a religious site, lies 6 km to the northeast.[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912)\n\n## Elevation and prominence\n\nSources give slightly different heights. The GeoNames-derived record used by Mapcarta states an elevation of 3,200 meters (10,499 feet),[1](https://mapcarta.com/12609912) while the climbing-history summit list and the [West Asia](https://www.edgepedia.org/west-asia) ultra-prominence lists both record 3,190 m.[2](https://climbing-history.org/summits/location/Iran)\n\nIn comparative terms, Kuh-e Hami is far below Iran's highest point, Kūh-e Damāvand at 5,610 m, and below the highest Zagros peaks such as Kūh-e Dīnār at 4,409 m, but its large prominence distinguishes it from the many lower subsidiary summits of the range.[4](https://worldmeasure.com/mountains/iran)\n\n## References\n\n1.
