Table Mountain (Khoekhoe: Huriǂoaxa, meaning "sea-emerging") is a flat-topped mountain overlooking Cape Town, South Africa. A prominent landmark and popular tourist destination, it attracts millions of visitors annually who either hike up or take the cableway. The mountain is home to over 8,200 plant species, primarily fynbos, and is part of Table Mountain National Park. It rises about 1,000 meters above the city and offers various challenging hiking routes that require preparation and equipment.
The main feature is the flat plateau, about three kilometers wide, bordered by Devil's Peak and Lion's Head. The highest point is Maclear's Beacon, standing at 1,086 meters above sea level. The plateau is often covered by a "tablecloth" of clouds, a phenomenon caused by moist air rising over the mountain, which local legend attributes to a smoking contest between the Devil and a pirate. To the south lies the "Back Table," extending towards the Cape of Good Hope and featuring rugged terrain like the Twelve Apostles.
