Cal Miskaad (also Calmiskaad, Al Miskad; Somali: Buuraha Cal Miskaad; Arabic: علمسكاد, romanized: ʿAlamiskad) is a mountain range in Somalia. It stretches across an area between the east of Karin, to the tip of the Horn of Africa. Its peak sits at almost 2,000 m (6,600 ft) on Mount Bahaya, east of Bosaso.
