The 1969 Sharm el-Sheikh earthquake occurred on March 31 off the southern Sinai peninsula in northeastern Egypt. The epicenter was located near Shadwan island, southwest of the city of Sharm el-Sheikh, at the confluence of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez. The shock measured 6.6 on the surface wave magnitude scale, had a maximum reported intensity of VII (''Very Strong'') on the Mercalli intensity scale, and was responsible for several deaths and injuries.
==Tectonic setting==
This portion of Egypt is adjacent to the African and Arabian tectonic plates. The Red Sea divides the two and splits, with one branch turning north along the Gulf of Aqaba into the Dead Sea Transform system, and the main trend continuing along the Gulf of Suez. While the earthquake activity in the Gulf of Aqaba is characterized by left-lateral strike-slip faulting, the Gulf of Suez is primarily influenced by extensional tectonics, with increasing extension from north to south.
