Abstract
ABSTRACT
El-Obour City study area is located at about 35 km Northeast of Cairo and it is bounded from south by Cairo-Ismailia Highway and from North by Cairo Belbeis Desert Road The present study area lies in El-Obour City between latitudes 30°12 '20.34" N and 30° 9.9' N and longitudes 31°25' E and 31°29.25' E.
El-Obour area exposed rocks are ranging in age from Miocene to Quaternary. The Miocene sedimentary sequence was divided into two units: marine Miocene unit (Early to Middle) and non-marine Miocene unit (Late Miocene). The marine Miocene unit is composed of sandstones and clay in its lower part and carbonate interbedded with clays in the upper parts. The non-marine Miocene unit cropped out in the northern and southern parts. It is composed of red semi-friable sands and gravels. The post Miocene sediments are represented by thick sheets of Quaternary sands and gravels and sand dunes in some places. These sand dunes occupy the southern part of the city.
