==Asia== {{Further|Sinai Peninsula}} The northernmost part of the Rift corresponds to the central{{dubious |Same problem as previous dubious tags. |date= December 2024}} section of what is today called the [[Dead Sea Transform]] (DST) or Rift. This midsection of the DST forms the [[Beqaa Valley]] in Lebanon, separating the [[Mount Lebanon|Mount Lebanon range]] from the [[Anti-Lebanon Mountains]]. Further south it is known as the [[Hula Valley]] separating the [[Galilee]] mountains and the [[Golan Heights]].<ref name="YirguEbinger2006">{{cite book|author1=G. Yirgu|author2=C. J. (Cindy J.)

The Rift then continues south through the [[Jordan Rift Valley]] into the [[Dead Sea]], on the [[Israel]]i-[[Jordan]]ian border. From the Dead Sea southwards, the Rift is occupied by the Wadi [[Arabah]], then the [[Gulf of Aqaba]], and then the [[Red Sea]].<ref name="YirguEbinger2006" /> Off the southern tip of Sinai in the Red Sea, the [[Dead Sea Transform]] meets the [[Red Sea Rift]] which runs the length of the Red Sea. The Red Sea Rift comes ashore to meet the [[East African Rift]] and the [[Aden Ridge]], in the [[Afar Depression]] of East Africa. The junction of these three rifts is called the [[Afar triple junction]].<ref name="YirguEbinger2006" />
