Guinea is located on the Atlantic Coast of West Africa.
The country is divided into four geographic regions: A narrow coastal belt (Lower Guinea); the pastoral Fouta Djallon highlands (Middle Guinea); the northern savanna (Upper Guinea); and a southeastern rain-forest region (Forest Guinea). The Niger, Gambia, and Senegal Rivers are among the 22 West African rivers that have their origins in Guinea.
Mont Nimba is the country's highest point at 1752 meters above sea level.
The capital city is Conakry.
