A new archaeological survey in Wadi Abu Subeira and el-Aqaba el-Saghira by a team from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities has recently identified many new rock art sites. So far, nine sites with Late Palaeolithic rock art have been identified in Wādi Abū Subeira and only one in Aqba. 
The Late Palaeolithic rock art in both Wādi Abū Subeira and Aqba was executed in a naturalistic style –Franco-Cantabrian, Lascaux-like style, using both techniques of hammering and incision to create the images. This style is substantially different from the later rock art located nearby. 
Rock art style, patina, technique and subject matter are proved the date of these rock art assemblage to Late Paleaolithic. This date is support by recently OSL date of similar rock art assemblage located at Qurta north of Wadi Suabeira.
