Koh-e-Batil is the flat-topped hammerhead ridge that forms the western skyline of Gwadar. Rising roughly 400 feet above the Arabian Sea and stretching nearly ten kilometres in length, it is what gives Gwadar its distinctive dumbbell shape — sea to the south, sea to the north, and this ridge cutting across the middle. The drive up to the ridge crest looks straight down onto the harbour, the fishing dock and Gwadar city, and it is the accepted sunrise and sunset viewpoint of the town.
