Sharon plain
The Sharon plain (Hebrew: השרון, romanized: HaSharon; Arabic: سهل شارون, romanized: Sahel Sharon) is the central section of the Israeli coastal plain. The plain lies between the Mediterranean Sea to the west and the Samarian Hills, 15 km (9.3 mi) to the east. It stretches from Nahal Taninim, a stream marking the southern end of Mount Carmel in the north, to the Yarkon River in the south, at the northern limit of Tel Aviv, over a total of about 90 km (56 mi). The level of the Sharon plain is connected to the level of the Mediterranean Sea by the Sharon Escarpment.
Parts of the plain are included in the Central, Haifa and Tel Aviv Districts of Israel.
