Naasa Hablood ({{langx|so|Naaso Hablood}}), also known as the Virgin's Breast Mountain, are twin hills situated in Maroodi Jeex, Somaliland. Located on the outskirts of the city of Hargeisa, they are made of granite and sand. The hills were dubbed Naasa Hablood ({{lit|girl's breasts}}) due to their distinctive conical shape and resemblance to thelarchic breast buds.{{cite book|last=Laurence|first=Margaret|title=New Wind in a Dry Land|year=1963|publisher=Knopf|pages=293|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9WtyAAAAMAAJ}}Mirreh, Abdirahman.
