Israel can be divided into four regions: coastal plains, central hills, Jordan Rift Valley (the northern starting point of the East African Rift Valley) and Negev Desert.
The coastal plain along the Mediterranean Sea extends from the Lebanese border in the north to Gaza in the south. The soil in this area is fertile and humid, and it is an important area for agriculture and fruit cultivation. The eastern part of the coastal plain is the central plateau, the northern part of the plateau is the hills of the Galilee Mountains, and the southern part is the Samaritan Mountains composed of many small and fertile valleys.
Further south is the barren hilly area of Judea. To the east of the central plateau is the Jordan Rift Valley, which is a part of the 6,500-kilometer-long Great Rift Valley in East Africa.
