This is Figure 3 of Analysis of Skylab and ASTP Photographs of the Levantine (Dead Sea) Fault Zone by W. R. Muehlberger, L. K. Goetz, and R. C. Belcher, in the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project Summary Science Report, Volume II, Earth Observations and Photography (1979, NASA SP-412), which has the following caption:

FIGURE 3. - Apollo - Soyuz photograph (AST-09-560) showing view southward across the Sinai and northern Red Sea region. The graben (pull apart) origin of the Gulf of Suez is suggested by the linear bands of contrasting color parallel to the gulf that mark prominent faults. The Gulf of Aqaba and the narrow valley that extends northward to the Dead Sea mark the southern segment of the Dead Sea Fault zone; its strike-slip origin (Arabian side moving north relative to the Sinai side) is shown by (1) the long, straight fault extending from the eastern margin of the Dead Sea to the western margin at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, (2) angular corners of the gulf that match shape along opposite shores, and (3) curved structures (dragged ?) against the fault zone near the Dead Sea . The dark region bordering the Red Sea is composed of Precambrian rocks ; the oval areas are intrusives. Long, linear sand streaks and dunes (left center) show that the prevailing wind is from the Red Sea to the east across Arabia.
