World heritage sites are exposed to many dangers, some of which are natural and some of which are human, threatening their extinction. In turn, some archaeological sites in Kafr El-Sheikh Governorate are exposed to many dangers that threaten their disappearance. This study showed that the dangers threatening these sites are human, represented by urban expansion and encroachment on the area of ​​the sites for the purpose of agriculture, in addition to some projects that have been implemented on the sites or the establishment of a cemetery on the area of ​​the hill. The study was conducted on 16 sites in the governorate exposed to these dangers, and the encroachments on the sites during the last hundred years or so were highlighted.
