- Jebel Serj summit ridge: The high limestone crest is the park’s defining feature, with long views across the Siliana plains and neighboring ranges on clear days.
- Aleppo pine forests: Resinous, open woodland covers the middle slopes and gives shade and soft footing, a welcome change from the dry plains below.
- Limestone cliffs and rock faces: Pale, broken escarpments catch the afternoon light and give the mountain its rugged profile from the surrounding roads.
- Birds of prey overhead: The cliffs and thermals attract raptors, so bring binoculars and scan the ridgelines from a seat on the rocks.
- Wildlife tracks in the undergrowth: Wild boar, jackal and foxes live in the cover here. You are more likely to see tracks and droppings than animals, but quiet dawn walkers sometimes get lucky.
- Highland farmland

- Highland farmland and shepherd paths: The lower slopes are worked by local families, with olive and cereal plots, stone-walled tracks and herds that guide walkers more reliably than any sign.
- Makthar archaeological site: A short hop from the park, this Roman and Numidian town has a triumphal arch, baths and a museum, and it pairs well with a ridge walk.
