520 _aThis study aimcd to analyze vegetation and soil of AL-Ahrash protectorate, Rafah, north Sinai, Egypt (31̊ 18' N 34̊ 14' E); a developing resources natural reserve includes number of coastal sand dunes. The natural vegetation is mainly composed of Acaia saligna ( Labill.) Wendl. as a dominant and sand dune fixer species. The overall associated plant species traced in the area of the study were 25 belonged Lo 10 families. Poaeae were the only monocots traced family. Dicots, however. were represented by 9 families. The common annual non-woody species associated with Acacia saligna were Bromus scoparius, Hordeum murinum. Filago descrtoum and Polycarpon succulentum; in addition to two perennial woody trees (Casuarina cunninghamiana and Tamarix aphylla). Soil analysis proved that Al-Alirash soil is sandy, non saline, mostly lies in the alkaline side; heavy metal contents lie within the normal range of these metals in cultivated areas and an appreciable amount of organic matter is detected. According to the USDA taxonomy this soil belongs to order : Aridsols and suborder: Torripsamments. The plant life in Al-Ahrash protectorate faces dicfficulties due to irresponsible behaviour of some of the local people outside the protected area such as intensive grazing and excessive cutting. An urgent effort is needed to save the protectorate resources.
