Quick Summary

The Plain of 'Atlit is a section of Israel's Mediterranean coastal plain, located north of the Plain of Sharon. It is a narrow strip of land extending south from Mount Carmel to the Tanninim River. This area is characterized by sand dunes along the coast and is known for its historical significance as part of the ancient Via Maris route. Historically, the plain was forested and later became marshy, but it has since been developed for agriculture, particularly citrus fruits, and modern settlements.1
