<p>West Qasr El-Farafra area is particularly important for establishing new integrated urban communities. It is characterized by its flat area covered with slopes of limestone and sandstone limestone and sandstone rocks. Airborne gamma ray spectrometry and magnetic data were used for environmental radiation monitoring and mapping the basement surface in the west Farafra area. This study investigates the concentrations and distribution patterns of three radionuclides-²³⁸U, ²³²Th, and ⁴⁰K-in sedimentary rocks. Analysis reveals that ²³⁸U has a mean concentration of 37&#xa0;Bq kg^-1 with high variability and a positively skewed distribution, suggesting localized enrichment processes. ²³²Th shows a mean concentration of 32&#xa0;Bq kg^-1 and exhibits moderate skewness and a flatter kurtosis, likely due to the presence of thorium-bearing minerals. In contrast, ⁴⁰K has a mean concentration of 665&#xa0;Bq kg^-1 with the least variability and a near-normal distribution, attributed to the widespread presence of potassium-bearing minerals. Radiological parameters, including the radium equivalent activity (Ra_eq), dose rate (D_air), and annual effective dose (AED), generally indicate lower radiological hazards compared to global averages, though some samples exhibit elevated levels. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrates strong associations among the radionuclides and radiological risk indicators, with ²³²Th showing the highest correlation. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) further reveal that ⁴⁰K and ²³²Th are more closely related, while ²³⁸U behaves distinctly, indicating different geological or environmental influences. Consequently, as a result of the above findings, the location of interest is generally radiologically acceptable for redevelopment purposes pending verification of a site specific nature within those areas where anomalous levels can be found.</p>
