Abstract ‎In this paper‎, ‎some algebraic and geometrical properties of the rank$-k$ numerical hulls of normal matrices are investigated‎. ‎A characterization of normal matrices whose rank$-1$ numerical hulls are equal to their numerical range is given‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎using the extreme points of the numerical range‎, ‎the higher rank numerical hulls of matrices of the form $A_1 \oplus i A_2$‎, ‎where $A_1$ and $A_2$ are Hermitian‎, ‎are investigated‎. ‎The higher rank numerical hulls of the basic circulant matrix‎ ‎are also studied‎.
