Galilee
Galilee ((ヘブライ語:הגליל), transliteration ''HaGalil''; (アラビア語:الجليل), translit. ''al-Jalīl'') is a region in northern Israel which overlaps with much of the administrative Northern District and Haifa District of the country. Traditionally divided into Upper Galilee ((ヘブライ語:גליל עליון) ''Galil Elyon''), Lower Galilee ((ヘブライ語:גליל תחתון) ''Galil Tahton''), and Western Galilee ((ヘブライ語:גליל מערבי) ''Galil Ma'aravi''), extending from Dan to the north, at the base of Mount Hermon, along Mount Lebanon to the ridges of Mount Carmel and Mount Gilboa north of Jenin and Tulkarm to the south, and from the Jordan Rift Valley to the east across the plains of the Jezreel Valley and Acre to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and the coastal plain in the west.
==Geography==
Most of Galilee consists of rocky terrain, at heights of between 500 and 700 m. Several high mountains are in the region, including Mount Tabor and Mount Meron, which have relatively low temperatures and high rainfall. As a result of this climate, flora and wildlife thrive in the region, while many birds annually migrate from colder climates to Africa and back through the Hula–Jordan corridor. The streams and waterfalls, the latter mainly in Upper Galilee, along with vast fields of greenery and colourful wildflowers, as well as numerous towns of biblical importance, make the region a popular tourist destination.
Due to its high rainfall (900–1200 mm), mild temperatures and high mountains (Mount Meron's elevation is 1,000–1,208 m), the upper Galilee region contains some distinctive flora and fauna: prickly juniper (''Juniperus oxycedrus''), Lebanese cedar (''Cedrus libani''), which grows in a small grove on Mount Meron, cyclamens, paeonias, and ''Rhododendron ponticum'' which sometimes appears on Meron.
