Tulkarm or Tulkarem ( Arabic طولكرم Ṭūlkarm ; Standard Hebrew טולכרם ) is a Palestinian city in the West Bank . The original name is (Tur Karem) which means “the mountain of generosity”, and that is because of the fertility of the land and its resources. The city had been known by this name till the eighteenth century AD when it was altered to Tulkarm as it is known nowadays. The city is situated on the eastern part and in the middle of the Palestinian Coastal plain, at a distance of 15 km from the seashore where the plain meets with the mountains of Nablus . This central location between the plain and the mountain has given it a commercial and military importance and is of a great effect on its growth. In the past, it was a station for the commercial caravans and a market containing the products of the mountain and the plain. It was a crossing point from which armies crossed to Egypt and the Levant (Al-Sham). Tulkarm is linked by paved roads with surrounding cities, such as Nablus , Jenin and Qalqilyah . And two railways reached it; one of them was an extension of the long east railway that ended in Cairo , and the second one was a branch of the narrow Hejaz railway that connected Tulkarm to Damascus .
