The crude extract yield of all used plants were varied from 10.6% in Salvia officinalis and 15.6% in&lt;em&gt; P. harmala&lt;/em&gt;, to 18 % in&lt;em&gt; G. hybridus&lt;/em&gt;. The antibacterial activity of these plants was carried out on four bacterial strain (&lt;em&gt;S. aureus, E.coli, E. aerogenes and B. subtilis&lt;/em&gt;). These plant ethanol extracts have effects on the gram positive strains and gram negative bacteria except&lt;em&gt; S. officinalis&lt;/em&gt; did not show activity against E. Coli. The minimal inhibition concentration (MIC) of &lt;em&gt;P. harmala&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;S. officinalis&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;G. hybridus&lt;/em&gt; (MIC) ranged from 125 μg/ml to 500 μg/ml. The ethanol crude extract of &lt;em&gt;G. hybridus &lt;/em&gt;gave 10 fractions using TLC method, fraction 1,3 and 10 exhibited antibacterial activity against all bacterial strains. Their total phenolic contents were evaluated; the highest total phenol content was observed in &lt;em&gt;G. hybridus&lt;/em&gt; with 410 mgGAE/g plant extract followed by &lt;em&gt;P. harmal&lt;/em&gt;a and &lt;em&gt;S. officinalis &lt;/em&gt;with 305 and 203.7 mg/g plant extract, respectively. The antioxidant activity was estimated by using DPPH method. The highest antioxidant activity was obtained with &lt;em&gt;G. hybridus&lt;/em&gt; extract and found to be 0.89 mg Trolox/g plant extract. The lowest antioxidant activity was obtained with &lt;em&gt;S. officinalis&lt;/em&gt; which was 0.53 mg Trolox/g plant extract. The lowest IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; (highest antioxidant activity) was observed in &lt;em&gt;G. hybridus &lt;/em&gt;with 0.83 mg/ml. Intermediate effect observed in &lt;em&gt;P. harmala&lt;/em&gt; with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 1.1 mg/ml. The lowest antioxidant activity was obtained in &lt;em&gt;S. officinalis &lt;/em&gt;with IC&lt;sub&gt;50&lt;/sub&gt; 1.38 mg/ml.&lt;/p&gt;
