| Jezreel Valley |
The Jezreel Valley, also known as Esdraelon, is Israel's largest valley. While there are other valleys in Israel, in Hebrew the Jezreel Valley is often referred to simply as "Ha'emek - The Valley". It is located between the mountains of Samaria in the south and the Galilee heights in the north. The Jezreel Valley is transversed by the ancient byway called the Via Maris, the thoroughfare that connected ancient Mesopotamia with Egypt. For this reason the Jezreel has witnessed countless wars and important historical movements.
