Abstract
Sabkhas adjoin the Bitter-Lakes area of Egypt (part of the Suez Canal complex), and occupy the topographic low areas east of the lakes. Each sabkha is subdivided into three zones: intertidal, transitional, and supratidal. Each of these zones has its own sedimentological characteristics, with a specific soil profile, and with marked transitional areas between them. The broad transitional zones arise from a seasonal areal expansion of the saline pools that occupy portions of the sabkha surface, particularly in winter. Thus, areas of mixed ancestry evolve because of the repeatedly shifting boundaries.
