N2  - The studied area lies between latitudes 28° 22' to 28° 28' north and longitudes 30° 26' to 31° 03' east. Bv applying the technique of Landsat Imagery (ETM7. Enhanced Thematic Mapper 7) and the physiographic approach. the area: under study at El-Menya Governorate could be identified as a best model for representing many landscape features in Egypt. The studied area includes both the continental alluvium deposits of River Nile and desert sediments that were derived from the local parent rocks. These deposits are developed on many physiographic units such as the Nile alluvial plain. River bank. Islands. Alluvial terraces, Aeolian plain and Wadis. In addition. the rock structures are delineated as a rock outcrops. The differences between the studied physiographic units are represented by twelve soil profiles. The studied soil profiles were fully described and soil samples were collected for laboratorY analysis.  Key words: Landsat Imagery, El Menya soils, land evaluation, soil taxa, supreme current and potential suitability for specific crops
