The results indicated that Jebel Qatrani is characterized by unique diversity in geological and geomorphological. Jebel Qatrani has a history and geological importance. The results reported that there is a lack of marketing activities or promotion plans for promoting Jebel Qatrani. Also,there is no pamphlet and brochures to provide information to visitors. The results reported that there is a lack of signboard in place,and there is no food and beverage service. This research has several limitations. Firstly,this research focused on one case study of Jebel Qatrani. Secondly,the literature showed there had been a clear lack of prior research studies on geotourism sites in Egypt,in particularly Jebel Qatrani.
