Abstract Lake Manzala is one of the Deltaic Mediterranean lakes in Egypt. It comprises over 1000 islands of various sizes, the vegetation of which is halophytic. Seven community types are described, dominated by: Phragmites australis, Juncus acutus, J. rigidus, Arthrocnemum macrostachyum, Atriplex portulacoides, Halocnemum strobilaceum and Zygophyllum aegyptium. Each of these communities has been analysed and its habitat described and discussed.
