Abstract
Shubra El-Khima district is a boundary to Cairo, which belong to the alluvial plain, lie in thermic temperature regime and Torric moisture regime, has not any diagnostic horizon and classify according to USDA, 2014 as follows:
"Typic Haplotorrerts, fine, smectitic, thermic, very deep"
Land suitability according to Sys and Verheye, 1978 are achieved on the soil characteristics and the soils under consideration appear a moderate limitation (S2) which is affected by the clay texture through all the studied area and along of the studied profiles.
The urban area in 1965 was 382.61 feddan and the highly fertile cultivated soils were loss 3225.87 and 31239.95 feddan are recorded in 1984 and 2013, respectively. This deterioration may be due to the increasing of population and the income of real estate investment is higher than the agricultural investment.
