Geber is a lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged south-central highlands of the Moon. It lies half way between Almanon crater to the north-northeast and the Azophi-Abenezra crater pair to the south-southwest. Further to the southeast is the Sacrobosco crater.

The rim of Geber crater is symmetrical and nearly circular, with only minor indentations at the north and south faces of the wall. The floor is flat and lacks a significant central peak at the mid-point. The small satellite crater 'Geber B' is attached to the northwest rim.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Geber crater.
