Land use and land cover features were mapped using a false colour composite image (FCC, bands 7, 4, 3 and 5) at scale of 1:100,000. Digital image processing includes : contrast enhancement, rationing method, and supervised classification using the parallelepiped classifier technique, were performed. The main land use and land cover categories were determined. The statistical analysis of the classified image reveals that the desert areas represent about 25%, fallow land 19%, agriculture 14%, sabkhas 10%, shallow water 8% and settlement/infrastructure 4%.
