Bulk Egyptian salt — sea & rock,
certified lot by lot.
100 SKUs across 8 grades from two verified Egyptian sources: Siwa Oasis crystalline rock salt for chemical, food and pharmaceutical purity, and North Sinai sea salt at industrial and de-icing scale. Every lot is laboratory-tested at source and again at the port of loading, and ships FOB / CIF / CFR from 7 Egyptian ports with a Certificate of Analysis issued before the Bill of Lading.

Quality at the Core · since 2014
Institutional reliability in salt export.
Egypt Globe Group was incorporated with a dedicated Quality Assurance division at its nucleus. Specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract — the Certificate of Analysis the buyer’s own arrival laboratory reproduces, shipment after shipment.
Read the QA charter →Zero tolerance on specification deviation
A lot outside its Certificate of Analysis is rejected at the loading port — never re-graded, blended down or renegotiated.
Per-lot laboratory verification
Source and port laboratories test every lot against the contract specification before a Bill of Lading is issued.
Independent third-party inspection
TÜV Austria, SGS, Intertek or Bureau Veritas (ISO/IEC 17020 / 17025) sample and witness at any of seven Egyptian ports.
Laycan and grading discipline
Documented Notice of Readiness and Statement of Facts on every vessel; sieve, assay and moisture verified per lot.
Two Egyptian sources
Siwa Oasis crystalline rock salt or Sinai sea salt — specified, not assumed.
Egypt’s geography supports both salt types. The two are not interchangeable: rock salt carries the purity floor for chemical, food and pharmaceutical use; sea salt carries the volume for de-icing, industrial and water-treatment tenders. Pick by application, grade and sieve profile — we load from the closest port and certify the lot either way.

Sinai Sea Salt
Solar-evaporated from North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and the Red Sea coast at Ain Sokhna. ~2,700 kWh/m² annual irradiance delivers raw 94–97 % NaCl, washed 97.5–98 % and double-washed ≥ 99 %, screened per lot to EN 16811-1 Type 1 / Type 2, ASTM D632 and BS 3247 gradings with moisture held to the tender tolerance (kiln-dried ≤ 1.5 %, natural 3–4 %).

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for bulk salt from Egypt?
From 240 MT for a containerised (FCL) programme up to 65,000 MT bulk vessels, shipped FOB, CIF or CFR from seven Egyptian deep-water ports: Damietta, Alexandria, El Dekheila, Port Said East, Ain Sokhna, Al-Arish and Adabiya.
What is the difference between Egyptian sea salt and rock salt?
Sea salt is solar-evaporated in the North Sinai (El-Arish / Bardawil) and Red Sea coastal pans. Rock salt is mined halite from the Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression inland deposits. Both are supplied as industrial, de-icing and food grades; the grade, not the source, sets the specification.
Which de-icing standards can Egyptian road salt be supplied to?
EN 16811-1 (EU), ASTM D632 (US), BS 3247 (UK), GOST 13830 (CIS) and SS-EN 16811-1 (Nordic), as bulk rock or sea road salt in the grain bands each standard defines.
Do you supply food-grade and pharmaceutical salt?
Yes. Food-grade salt is produced under ISO 22000 / FSSC 22000 / HACCP, including iodised table salt, Fleur de Sel and reduced-sodium blends. Pharmaceutical-grade NaCl is supplied at USP / BP / EP purity of 99.5% or higher for IV saline, dialysis and API manufacture.
What is industrial salt used for, and how is it specified?
Chlor-alkali and PVC feedstock, water treatment and softening, oilfield drilling and leather tanning. Industrial grades carry strict iron and sulphate limits; pool and water-treatment salt is supplied to NSF/ANSI 60.
