The Mount Carmel range is located in northwestern Israel. This limestone ridge, which spans approximately 16 miles (26 km), serves as a geographic divider: it separates the Plain of Esdraelon and the Galilee to the east and north from the coastal Plain of Sharon to the south.12

The city of Haifa is situated on the range's northeastern slope, and its seaward point, known as Rosh ha-Karmel, extends nearly to the Mediterranean Sea.1
