Five major fault blocks dipping 30–40°SW exist in the southern Gulf of Suez rift.
- class="label">•
The major faults in the area include rift initiation, early syn-rift, and main syn-rift faults.
- class="label">•
The rift initiation faults played a major role in the erosion of pre-rift reservoirs and top seals.

The lowermost syn-rift unit did not cover the eroded updip areas of the tilted fault blocks.
