The Arava Rift valley can be easily seen on most any region map - it
extends from the Red Sea thru the Gulf of Eilat, the Dead Sea, and on
northward thru the Sea of Galilee - the Jordan river follows it.
There are, as you indicate, other faults, but I don't have info on them
- however, I believe there is one that's been found under or near the
Mount of Olives.  |-)
