Ras Kouroun, El-Katieh, or El-Kas, also known as Mount Kasion or Kasion Oros to Greek geographers such as Herodotus who considered it to mark the boundary between Egypt and Syria, is a small mountain near the marshy Lake Bardawil, the "Serbonian Bog" of Herodotus, where Zeus' ancient opponent Typhon was "said to be hidden".

Like Mount Casius in Syria, it was historically associated with a shrine to Zeus, one of whose epithets was Kasios.
