Therefore, this study aims to create an interactive map of natural reserves in Egypt, which have 30 existing natural reserves, and 14 suggested natural reserves, On the other hand, today's world is moving to use technology in all directions, including maps. So, this study depends on using Open-Source Web GIS Tools in creating the interactive map, instead of traditional paper maps. Web GIS is the result of merging the advantages of geographic information systems and the possibility of the Internet. This creates maps of easy access and manipulation. Open-Source tools are free to use tools for users to develop on. This study relies on Web design programming languages (HTML - CSS – Java Script) ​​for map creating using the Leaflet.js mapping library, and type of data Geojson, and software that uses QGIS for mapping work, and Brackets for coding.
