Short summary
Three-dimensional seismic structures beneath the Gulf of Aqaba are presented for the first time for the southern part of the Dead Sea. A regional earthquake tomography method is applied to P and S waves data. The new results indicate new perspectives suggesting an oceanic nature of the crust in the northern part of the Red Sea, disagreeing with the hypothesis of a gradual stretching of the continental crust.
