Samaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samaria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Geographical location

To the north, Samaria is bounded by the Jezreel Valley; to the east by the Jordan Rift Valley; to the west by the Carmel Ridge (in the north) and the Sharon plain (in the west); to the south by the Jerusalem mountains. In Biblical times, Samaria 'reached from the [Mediterranean] sea to the Jordan Valley',[2] including the Carmel Ridge and Plain of Sharon. The Samarian hills are not very high, seldom reaching the height of over 800 metres. Samaria's climate is more hospitable than the climate further south."
