Israeli coastal plain

The view from Mount Carmel across the Coastal Plain to the Mediterranean Sea The Israeli Coastal Plain ( , Mishor HaHof ) is the narrow coastal plain along Israel's Mediterranean Sea coast which houses 70% of the country's population. The plain extends 187 kilometres (116 mi) north to south and is divided into a number of areas; the Plain of Zebulun (north of Haifa ), Hof HaCarmel (from Haifa to Mount Carmel ), the Sharon plain (from Mount Carmel to Tel Aviv ), and the Plain of Judea (from Tel Aviv to Zikim ).

The view from Mount Carmel across the Coastal Plain to the Mediterranean Sea Israel's Coastal Plain ( , Mishor HaḤof ) is the coastal plain along Israel 's Mediterranean Sea coast, extending 187 kilometres (116 mi) north to south. It is a geographical region defined morphologically by the sea, in terms of topography and soil, and also in its climate, flora and fauna. It is narrow in the north and broadens considerably towards the south, and is continuous with the exception of the short section where Mount Carmel reaches almost all the way to the sea. The Coastal Plain is bordered to the east by - north to south - the topographically higher regions of the Galilee , the low and flat Jezreel Valley , the Carmel range, the mountains of Samaria , the hill country of Judea known as the Shephelah , and the Negev Mountains in the south. To the north it is separated from the coastal plain of Lebanon by the cliffs of Rosh HaNikra , which jut out into the sea from the Galilee mountains, but to the south it continues into the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula . The plain can be conventionally divided into a number of areas: the Northern Coastal Plain borders Western Galilee in its northern part, and the Jezreel Valley in its southern part between Akko and Haifa , where it is also called the Plain of Zebulon ; Hof HaCarmel, or the Carmel Coastal Plain, runs along the Mount Carmel range; the Sharon Plain continues down to northern Tel Aviv ; the Central Coastal Plain stretches from Tel Aviv to the northern limit of the Gaza Strip , with the Nahal Shikma stream as its limit- there Israel's access to the Mediterranean ends, so that the so-called Israeli Southern Coastal Plain, also known as the Western Negev , actually consists of the hinterland of the Strip.
