The large and fertile valley of the Jezreel plain, frequently referred to merely as HaEmeq (the Valley), extends southeastward from the bay north of Haifa to the Jordan valley between the upland regions of Samaria and Galilee. The Arabs call it Marj Ibn Amr; its Old Testament name is the plain of Esdraelon.
The Jezreel plain is the largest valley in Israel and one of its most fertile regions. To the southwest the Iron valley forms a transition to the plain of Sharon. Megiddo, strategically situated on the Iron pass, was a place of great military importance from ancient times to the present century.
