Description :
The aim of this study is to establish a more precise chronology of the geologically young and poorly defined raised reef terraces for a better stratigraphic assessment of these Red Sea islands, and to test their tectonic vertical behavior at an intermediate time-scale in light of the suggestion that both islands originated in response to compressional forces active within a transform fault domain.
