A stable remanence was isolated from three groups of rocks collected in the Eastern Desert of Egypt. Two groups of dikes, one collected orth of the Qena-Safaga road and the other about 20 km to the south near the Um Rus gold mine, gave paleomagnetic pole positions of 87 ¿N, 304 ¿E and 86 ¿N, 185 ¿E, respectively. Both have K/Ar ages in the range 480--530 m.y. The results are compatible with data reported from other Gondwana cratonic areas for this time period. The third group of rocks were samples of the Dokhan Volcanic Series collected at seven sites along the Qena-Safaga road. The paleomagnetic pole position of the higher-coercivity component, 36 ¿S, 17 ¿E, acquired about 600 m.y. ago is not easily reconciled with established polar wander paths. The younger component, however, with a paleomagnetic pole lying at 54 ¿N, 327 ¿E, suggests a Cambro-Ordovician age.
