Uranium Geology of the Middle East and North Africa demonstrates mining potential in the MENA region, with a special interest given to Uranium. The formation and origin of uranium deposits is of interest for uranium exploration and is necessary for the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy production. The book proposes a new classification system built on earlier classification with detailed new maps, explanatory diagrams, cross sections, helpful satellite images, etc. In addition, it explains why the occurrences, depositional and geological environments of uranium in the Middle East and North Africa vary from one country to another.
Using various related recognition criteria, the book reports the potential uranium provinces in the Middle East and North Africa countries. The definition of these provinces is based on the existing geologic and tectonic settings, along with geochronological sequences and geochemical characteristics.

He completed his Ph.D. in Geology (Field and Structural Geology and Radioactivity) in 1975, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Before joining the Nuclear Materials Authority, he worked as Head of Production Sector (1997); Vice Chairman of Nuclear Materials Authority (1997-1999); Chairman of Nuclear Materials Authority, Cairo, Egypt (1999-2000); and as a Private Consultant Geologist. He has authored 40 published articles, 28 unpublished scientific reports and 3 books covering various geological fields including uranium exploration geology, radiometric survey, evaluation of uranium deposits, mining geology, and environmental and engineering-geology site studies for engineering projects.
His expertise lies in the Entrepreneurial Geosciences, a field of endeavour with unique properties. After obtaining a Ph.D. from Harvard
- Presents a comprehensive overview of uranium resources and resource potential across the Middle East and North Africa
- Proposes a new system of metallogenic and tectonic classification for uranium ore deposits
- Includes case studies from each country in the region
