This study was conducted in Sahra Bayuada, (agricultural investment project), located 45 Km northwest Karima city, the area is about 10000 feddens. The aim of this research is determine the most soil growth limiting factors that obstructed the establishment of irrigated agriculture in the study area beside to classify the study area into suitability classes by using the framework of the land suitability (FAO, 1990 and 2006). Objectives achieved by using some of soil properties (soil moisture, soil texture, pH, ECe, and SAR) and aided by Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS). The results revealed that the physiochemical of soil indicators namely: pH, Ece and SAR, their levels increases from surface soil to sub-soil accounted about, 8.3-9.3, 0.41-1.13 and 1.35-2.07, respectively. These findings may be attributed to the increases in clay content with depth leading to capture and raise the values of physiochemical of soil indicators. Regarding to the result of soil moisture content increased with depth and this finding coinciding with soil texture where clay content increases and texture classes from surface soil to sub-soil ranged between sandy loam-sandy and sandy clay –loam, respectively. The land suitability classification revealed that, land class S2 (moderately suitable lands), include the following sub-classes S2m covered an area about (565feddans), S2ma covered an area about (4299 feddans) and S3ma (marginal suitable lands), covered an area about (5068 feddans). In general, the most soil growth limiting factors in the study area are pH, Ece, SAR and soil texture as well as the soil topography
