The concession area domain is situated in the western margin of the Nubian Desert, whereby more than 50% of the surface area is covered by sand dunes. The thickness of the sandy sheets varies from place to place, but in most localities reaches a few meters above the surrounding. Most of the ridges and basement inselbergs are scattered in this area. Low-lying basement outcrops are exposed as peneplains. The topography of the south of the Block is covered by low-lying Nubian Sandstones.
The concession is part of the Sahara Desert and thus the prevailing climate is dry with less than 50mm per year rainfall in the period from July to September. The winter season is from November to February in which the daily temperature may drop to 15°C. Otherwise, the climate is very dry and hot, the daily mean temperature ranges from 35°C to 42°C.
The Precambrian geology in NE Africa comprises two distinct crustal domains; The Nile Craton and the Arabian-Nubian Shield (Stern, 1994; Kröner, et al. 1987a; Vail, 1983; 1988; Rocci, 1965).
The area covered by Bayuda Desert is relatively well studied compared to other areas in northern Sudan (Vail, 1971; Barth and Meinhold, 1979; Dawoud, 1980; Ries, et al, 1985). Wadi Halfa and Bayuda Terrains (Schandelmeier, et al, 1994) represent the reworked eastern foreland of the Nile Craton, while Gabgaba Terrain (Abdelrahman, 1993) represented the westernmost part of the Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS). Wadi Halfa area poorly understood due to the limited studies conducted in the area (Stern, et al, 1994; Griffiths, et al, 1987).
According to previous studies in north and northeast Sudan, the litho-stratigraphic units of the Wadi Halfa-Bayuda-Gabgaba area are (Denkler, et al, 1994; Abdelrahman, 1993; Vail, 1988; Barth and Meinhold, 1979):
