According to the Atlas of Pakistan, soil in Killa Saifullah district is of two types. Alongside the Muslim Bagh-Killa Saifullah road, soil is mainly loamy, part gravely valley-fill with some rock outcrops and some sand dunes (Camborthids and some Lithic Camborthids). Soil in all the remaining area of the district is made of rock outcrops and is loamy, very shallow steep high mountain soils of mainly arid and semi-arid zone (rock outcrops and Lithic Camborthids).

In Killa Saifullah sub-division, six kinds of soil are known: pakha, which is the best, is composed of rich clay; atana, also called as matana, which comes next and answers to the mat in other parts of Balochistan, i.e., a soil made by silt deposits; sagana, a sandy loam which requires frequent watering; sharamugh, a soil of saline composition; klaka, a hard soil; and ragha containing gravel and shingle, these last two are inferior and not ordinarily fit for cultivation. Pakha is found in Ismailzai, Ghorizai and Haiderzai; the atana in Pasenzai, Akhtarzai, Alozai and Alikhel; the sagana in Batozai, Sibzai, Ghibzai, Zarkae and in Mirzai and Shadozai vialas which contain also the sharamagh; the klaka is found north of the Lora and the ragha in Saghra and towards the Pitao hill.

The Muslim Bagh sub-division has three kinds of soil called pakha-spina, reti or sagna and dabarlana or zhaghlana. The pakha-spina, as the name implies, is a rich white loam found in the Muslim Bagh circle at Urgasa, Karez gae and Loe Karez; at Kazha and Shina Khura in Kazha circle; in the Khurasan circle, mostly in uncultivated tracts; in Murgha Mehterzai circle, at Murgha and Kan Mehterzai; and in the Babu China circle at Babu China, Murgha Faqirzai and Zhar Ghezh. The reti is a sand soil suitable for ghost (millet) crop and is found in Kam Karez in the Muslim Bagh circle and at Shina Khura in Kazha. The dabarlana is an inferior stony soil containing gravel and is found mostly in the Babu China circle, also at Rod Kamchughai in Murgha Mehterzai. It does not ordinarily give crop yields without manure.
