The Saih Hatat area is a tectonic window that exposes basement and continental shelf units structurally underlying the Semail ophiolite. Saih Hatat is subdivided into three thrust-bounded tectonometamorphic regions each characterized by a set of lithotectonic units metamorphosed under different P–T conditions.
