Highlight on the petrology, geochemistry and structural evolution of the amphibolite facies terrain at Wadi Um Taghir along Qena-Safaga road, Central Eastern Desert, Egypt.
The metamorphic terrain at W. Um Taghir along Qena-Safaga road is dominated by amphibolites, hornblende gneisses, banded hornblende gneisses, fine-grained biotite gneisses and migmatites arranged according to their abundances.
