=Gebel Shebakhit= is a group of high sandstone hills a few kilometres north of Awamtib. It is drained north-westward by the broad Wadi Shebakhit, a tributary of Wadi Timsah. =Gebel Dagalai=, the next member of the sandstone hill-mass to the north, has numerous peaks ranging from 670 to 712 metres above sea. It is drained north-westward by the Wadi Dagalai, in which it is said that water can sometimes be obtained. PLATE XV. [Illustration: MAP OF THE DISTRICT OF ABRAQ & ABU SAAFA Ball.

(60-190)] =Gebel Um Khafur= is a group of high sandstone ridges overlooking the sandy plain of Um Harba to the north. One of its higher ridges, 560 metres above sea-level, bears a triangulation station, marked by a beacon, in latitude 23° 29′ 54″, longitude 34° 29′ 19″. A remarkable feature of Gebel Um Khafur is the north-north-easterly dip of its sandstone beds at an angle of about 13°, almost constant over a large area, with probably step-faulting parallel to the strike of the beds; owing to these features there are developed a series of long ridges, with a flat dip slope northward and a steeper drop to the south, while the drainage channels run along the lines of strike and only break across the ridges at a few points. The drainage from these channels, the chief of which is called the Wadi Um Khafur, meanders northward over the plain to join a feeder of Wadi Garara.
