对苏伊士裂谷的北方部分和邻近地区的详细地下研究表明，两个不同的变形事件是叠加的。在变形的早期（晚白垩世），由于非洲和欧亚大陆的会聚以及新特提斯的闭合，在埃及北方形成了轴向为NE-SW的褶皱。在晚中新世变形期，由于苏伊士裂谷的开启，形成了北西向的正断层。
Detailed subsurface studies of the northern part of the Suez Rift and adjacent areas indicate the superposition of two different episodes of deformation. During the earlier (Late Cretaceous) phase of deformation, folds with NE-SW oriented axes were formed in northern Egypt as a result of convergence between Africa and Eurasia and the closure of the Neotethys. During the later (early Miocene) deformation, NW-oriented normal faults were formed as a result of the opening of the Suez Rift.
