ABSTRACT
Two major litho-structural units, corresponding to the internide-externide divisions of some Phanerozoic orogenic belts, have been recognised in the Pan-African orogenic belt of the south Eastern Desert of Egypt. A structural history similar to that observed in a nearly adjacent part of the belt in north-eastern Sudan has been deduced. The interpretation of the tectonics for the area is contrasted with published interpretations for nearby areas.
