A satellite image shows the Sinai Peninsula subdivision into three geological districts: the stable, the transitional and the non-stable shelves. The two fault zones, the Sinai Hing Belt (Minsherah-Abu Kandu shear zone) and the Themed Fault (Ragabet El-Naam fault) (a) lead to such a geographical division [33,34,35,36,37,38]. There are different historical roads for Hajj, Crusaders or Romans, and the proposed Exodus (a) [39]. The main structural elements include faults (black) and major faults (red) in addition to their generated rose diagrams (b) which show the main trends [37]. The green rectangular (b) shows the lineament map at Wadi Sudr of Fig. 9
