Abstract
The area lecated East the Suez Canal. i.e. , in S.nai
Peninsula is charaeterized by conspicuous phywiographic features
which are entirely differ~nt from those located on the eastern
side. These features are reflected on soil formation, character-
istics and distribution in such area •
In the past, little attention has been devoted to the study
of soils in this particular area. However, after the liberation of
Sinai, the area was given due consideration.Speoial attention i2
paid to the agricultural development by the recent activities of
governmental authorities related to The Ministry of Development
and State for Housing and Land Reclamation. These activities inc-
lude the soil survey of select~d localities in Sinai Peninsula.
As the mineralogy of the clay fraction of soils control
most of their characteristics and behaviour particularly in the
medium and heavy textured soils, lack of information about the
clay mineralogy dictates that it should be considered within the
framework of a research proj~ct planned by the University of Sur
Canal.
