Our mission

Soker Salt is the export trade brand of Egypt Globe Group — bringing professional B2B salt export services to global buyers.

We source from Egypt's two finest salt origins: North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil coast) and the Red Sea coastal salt pans for sea salt, and the ancient Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression mines for rock salt — minimum 97% NaCl purity guaranteed.

We produce and export more than 1.5 million metric tons per year to every industry that needs it: from food manufacturers in Germany to water treatment plants in Saudi Arabia to cosmetics brands in South Korea. One supplier. Every specification. Complete documentation.

Egyptian salt provenance

Sea salt origin

Solar-evaporated from Egypt's North Sinai coastline (El-Arish / Bardawil) and the Red Sea coastal salt pans near Ain Sokhna.

Egypt's average annual solar irradiance of 2,700 kWh/m² is among the highest on Earth — ideal for natural solar evaporation. The Bardawil Lagoon alone covers 165 km² of natural salt pans.

FOB loading: Al-Arish (closest to source) · Port Said East SCCT · Damietta · Ain Sokhna — buyer picks per destination market.
Egyptian sea salt pans

Rock salt origin

Mined from Egypt's Siwa Oasis (Western Desert) and the Qattara Depression — the second-lowest point in Africa, 133 m below sea level.

These ancient evaporite formations were laid down 30+ million years ago when the Tethys Sea retreated. They deliver minimum 97% NaCl purity and reserves measured in hundreds of millions of MT.

FOB loading: El Dekheila (deep-water Capesize-capable) · Alexandria · Damietta · Ain Sokhna.
