    A similar depth to basement was estimated in the eastern extension of the Delta and in northern Sinai through their north-west and south-east structural cross sections based on reflection and refraction seismic shooting and well data. Abu Shagar (2002), found the depth to basement surface 11 Km from gravity data interpretation. So, from all previous studies, we can conclude that the depth of basement is between 1.8 Km to reach about 10 Km (North)…
