This study explores the heart of the Eastern Desert, an area rich in geological history and ripe for new discoveries. Advanced remote sensing techniques were employed to map the topographical landscape, unveiling a diverse range of surface structural features. From Late Proterozoic rocks to recent Quaternary deposits, the analysis highlights a variety of lithologies and tectonic fabrics that have shaped the region's history. Utilizing high-resolution elevation data and magnetic field analysis, previously undiscovered patterns were revealed. Mapping of stream networks and subtle elevation changes from the surface data indicates potential pathways for groundwater resources. Furthermore, sophisticated analysis of the magnetic field and elevation data unveils dominant structural patterns present in both the surface and subsurface settings of the study area. These trends, oriented northwest-southeast, northeast-southwest, and north-south, hold immense significance for mineral exploration and future water resource investigations. The findings not only shed light on the complex geological history of the Eastern Desert but also underscore its potential for future development and resource exploration.
